1. Is there a way/process to write code to navigate through html. I am wanting to go to a specific website, enter information into specific fields, click the search button, which will pull up a results query.
2. Is it possible to grab a specific file (e.g. excel file) from a non-ftp url? I couldn't find that it was possible using the urlwrite function.

If urlwrite() is not sufficient for your navigation, then you may wish to use the Java Robot class.

No, http is defined to work with one URL at a time.
If you were to use a package such as cURL to fetch the pages of interest then you might be able to program multiple URLs in to one call to cURL (which would still have to fetch the files one at a time.)
