Support for file upload fields
Hi
I would like to user Autifill forms to automatically fill in a file upload field. This doesn't appear to be supported ( I peeked at the javascript..its specifically excluded). Any reason why this is excluded? Can I request this as an enhancement?

I just started to use this extension for my attempt to remove Google Toolbar. Its AutoFill was the main reason why I installed Google Toolbar, so I'm glad to get this one.
After testing in several sites I visit often, I found that sometimes it autofilled Email Address with Username. For instance, these sites:
1. http://www.betterworld.com/login.aspx
2. http://www.titlez.com/login.aspx?Return ... fmyTZ.aspx
3. https://www.deepdiscount.com/viewlogono ... /index.htm
In site 1 only got it wrong in "Sign-In".
But when I disabled Username in AutoFill Form, Email Address in "Sign-In" of site 1 and Site 3 were filled with my full name, though this time it filled correctly in site 2.
I had glanced over the posts in this thread but couldn't find a similar discussion.
Why is that? Is the problem on these sites or the field rules?
Thanks for the reply in advance.

Thanks for trying out Autofill Forms, wildeny.
The problem with the sites you mentioned is related to the "name" attributes they use for their form input fields and the field rules of Autofill Forms.
Since I started developing Autofill Forms I had no time to improve the field rules apart from some minor changes I made from user feedback. To really improve them I would have to make a long surfing session analyzing all the forms of common websites.
And still it wouldn't work out with all forms on all sites as web developers don't seem to think much about the names they use for form fields.
If all web developers would follow RFC 3106 Autofill Forms would fill in form fields perfectly. Autofill Forms will also work perfectly on Amazon commerce fields, as I used the Autofill Test Page to test out the default field rules (Autofill is a similar extension whose development seems to be abandoned).
But anyway, Autofill Forms is made fully customizable so you can adjust it to your needs - the default field rules are also language specific (they're included in the localization files) as web developers sometimes tend to use their own language for name attributes of form fields.
The possibility to customize it comes along with a little learning curve as the field rules use regular expressions. So you might think it's more of a tool for web professionals.
But I don't think so:
- Autofill Forms comes with an integrated help explaining every part of the extension
- Autofill Forms comes with an integrated rule editor, making simple custom field rules easy
- Autofill Forms comes with a button labeled "Display Form Details", making the relevant form field attributes visible on the page
So what you can do is to read the integrated help and to customize your set of field rules to make it work with the pages you visit frequently.
As Autofill Forms supports multiple profiles and import/export of these profiles it's also possible to share your custom field rules with other users.
Greetings,
Sebastian
P.S.: All three websites you mentioned seem to be login pages - for easy and secure login using a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut (or even mouse gesture) I would rather recommend you to use my other extension - Secure Login. It also works seamlessly together with Autofill Forms.

I Have a Problem
When I use Autofill Forms on this web:
http://www.onidex.com.ve/portal/solic_mayor_ced.aspx
The form doesn't fill completely, because some fields changes their options depending of past selections.
Understand?
Sorry but I'm dont speak English really good
I'm from Venezuela, and I'm trying to get a passport, and on this web this really dificult!!!
Thousands of peaple buy the forms to computer experts, paying about 50$!!!

Clear a checked checkbox
Hi!
Great extension, helps a lot!
But i'm also hardly waiting for the option to clear a default checked chekbox...
It's a bit annoying when i forget to uncheck manually, and my online banking asks for passwords after almost every click.
The other thing: When i input eg. (?:^https://mydomain.com/) in the site rule field, clicking apply converts it to (?:^https:\/\/mydomain.com\/) (this puts a backslash before every slash). I'm using hungarian WinXP, localized Mozilla and hungarian keyboard layout.
Thanks,
Domike

I'm not sure if I fully understand - I looked at the form and it's a simple login form with an additional field where you have to put in characters from a so called Captcha.
The username can be filled in with the fieldRule "tbxCorreo", the pass with the fieldRule "tbxPass".
The Captcha has to be filled in manually - that's the purpose of Captchas - preventing automated logins.
Since it's a login form, I'd rather suggest to use Secure Login and Firefox Password Manager to save your login data than using Autofill Forms - the Captcha has to be filled in before using them nonetheless.

It's definitely on my TODO list.

That's done for a purpose - siteRules and fieldRules are regular expressions. The slashes mark the beginning and end of the regular expression. Therefore, every slash inside the expression has to be "escaped", which is done by putting a backslash in front of the slash.

Does this extension actually work with Secure Login, like the auto-filled fields are secured or sth?
Damnit, folks, it's Fx, not FF!

You could copy the source code of this form and post it here so I can have a look at it - but make sure it doesn't contain any sensitive information.

Sure - every help is welcome. You could register at babelzilla.org and help doing the spanish translation.

This extension works together with the Secure Login extension in the way that Secure Login can call Autofill Forms before logging in - this way additional form fields can be filled in which are not saved by Firefox Password Manager.
To secure your form field data locally you have the option to encrypt all field rules (using Firefox Master Password).
If sending the form data itself is secure (meaning: sent over an encrypted connection) is dependent from the server and the URL, which must begin with https:// instead of just http://.

Help translating into spanish
Hi you doing,
