Automated form filling

Is it possible send someone to a page on a site and automatically fill in a form? Assuming I don't have access to the source of the page I want to send the user to, could I, for example, send them a frameset with two frames, one with the form and another with a page from my site that contains javascript to fill out the form? I don't need to submit the form or anything (though that would be nice if it's possible).

It seems like it should be possible with javascript... have you tried it yet?

While this is slightly underhanded, why not mirror the original source, but filter it through PHP and prefill it on your server, but alter the action to make sure it submits to the originally intended destination?
