Automating form testing?

When I'm developing applications, I find myself constantly filling in forms with the same stupid information, making sure the form works, then checking to see if the data was entered correctly into the database. Is there some kind of software that can automate filling this information in? I tried iMacros, but they wanted some ridiculous amount of money. I need to be able to run like 20 different scenarios through a form and see if all is gravy. Anybody know of something that can do this?

I think simpletest can test forms

of course that means writing tests. But it makes rerunning them easy

you want to test that html form is working or the php code behind it?

I forgot about selenium. I remember hearing about it when I was doing unit testing in django. I'll check it out... thanks!
