This can be done with the evalJS dbus call.

Here is an excerpt from a script of mine which scripts a webpage too:

url=....
appid=`kstart --service konqueror.desktop --windowclass konqueror --url "$url"`
# kstart ensures konqueror is launched and ready, but not that khtml finished loading
objid=''
while test -z "$objid"; do
   # TODO: timeout?
   sleep 1
   i=1
   objid="/KHTML/$i/widget"
   if test "`qdbus $appid $objid url`" != "$url"; then
     objid=''
   fi
done

# Assume KWallet filled in the login page.

qdbus $appid $objid evalJS 'document.forms[0].submit()'

sleep 1

qdbus $appid $objid evalJS '.....'
