I've written these things a hundred times. You just have to understand the IE object model (good luck). Here's some code that will get you started:
oie=CREATEOBJECT('internetexplorer.application')
oie.Navigate('http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/pzb_inspections/pzb_inspection.htm')
oie.Document.frames(0).document.forms(0).permit.value='B00123456'
oie.Document.frames(0).document.forms(0).submit.click()
