Website member login and data retrieval


Hello,

I have a few websites at school that I login to so I can get my homework assignments and grades etc. The main page asks for user name and password in seperate text boxes, and then you are redirected to a page with my class listings. From there I have to select a class and then again I am redirected to that classes page that has tabs along the top that represent grades,homework,etc.I would like to find a way for me to incorporate into a web browser a way to login and retrieve information from all the classes from one location, a quicker way to be lazy I guess. I am just asking for advice to get me started, or maybe point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance and all help appreciated.

Sorry for the vague post above, I guess I should explain a little more. I have a webpage I made with my school schedule on it, below it I will have a table or few that will contain my classes, within this table I would like to have my classes homeworks listed(this is where I would need guidance).
I was going to go the javascript route, I was just needing some gentle proding in the right direction as I have never used javascript for much except for a few date functions on a few web pages. I was also going to look into php to see if maybe I could use that, but again I have used php/mysql together but never for doing something like this. I know I sound like I really am lost, but I am quite confident that if I can get pushed in the right direction I can do this.

Thanks alot.
