Autofill forms 2006-11-25 17:05:26


In my current project, I send users to a page (not on my site) with a form on it, I want to help my visitors by auto-filling specific parts, how can this be done? I can't figure it out. (I know it's possible, I've seen it done.)

I can't, the form isn't on my site.

It's on myspace.com

Don't know anything really about myspace.. But i guess you could use some javascript, like in the script delimiters:

document.item.value="some value";

or if there are more than one:

forms[#].item.value="some value";

I'm not quite sure about that one.

Can't use js on myspace. Myspace only allows css, html and dhtml. Other than that, I don't think you can modify a myspace form.

well, he is not trying to change a form.

he is trying to link to another page, and have part of the forms already filled out. I would like to work this one out to, i cna find it being very handy!

It definitely would be. It depends on the form and if you can somehow figure it out so that it can work with myspace's "mess" it can be really good.

I've seen it done with PHP, so there must be a way.

If you link me to the form page and say what fields you want filled in, i can give you the code needed :)

If it helps, this is what I'm trying to re-create.
