Here's one:

Hi Jason,

Thanks for ASKing about automating websites.

Question for You:
Where is the website populating the info for the current page?
Example, You said that You manually enter the info onto the page for each person.

If I'm correct, I believe that You might have to have an input form on Your site where
the person (people) can enter in a specific date on their own to generate
the info for their birth dates.

On the input form, You'll need something where they can either use a calendar
(probably a javascript calendar found online for FREE)
or some type of input items to select their Birthdate, then,
a text box to enter in their name, then,
a Submit button to submit the form information, and
have the data that was submitted sent to the program that You use to
capture the information that is currently being displayed
(such as what is already on Your site.)

Sound confusing yet? ... haha

I may be totally in left field here,
but it's 'cause I don't know what You are currently using to get the info on
your page, unless You are copying and pasting the info from another site that
generates the date stuff on Your site.

Hope that wee-bit of info helped in some way...

Christopher
