Website Autofill

Post by GPK5050 »

Hi...

Are there certain values or names that have to be assigned to an Editbox that will allow the data from an autofill to fall into the right box? A few of my forms have "last name" boxes, but the last name from an autofill goes into another box unrelated to the last name.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I was told no, it is the filling program to learn what goes in what box

I use Roboform

Do you mean the browser's autofill option?
If you mean you use RoboForm then it doesn't matter what you call your form fields.
I have over 500 entries in RF and have never had a problem with filling forms.

Hi...

Yes, the browser's autofill. There must be some data that is used to know what text goes into what box.

Sorry, I can’t help there, I never use a browser’s form filling.
But presumably you aren’t the only one using the form so other users will have their own method of filling in forms.
Or have I misunderstood you? :)
