The lastpass autofill icon appears on certain form fields, and on my site it has appeared unexpectedly on an input, with autocomplete="off", with no id and a name of CatName_autocomplete.
I understand I can add an attribute to disable it, but unless I do this for everything in my site, plus any other rival password managers, it could potentially crop up elsewhere. It interferes with my own custom javascript autocomplete functionality that I have on the control because it doesn't trigger the correct events to work properly.
Is there a way to find out the specific underlying logic it uses to decide whether to appear in an input? This would allow me to check I don't accidentally write misleading inputs that trigger it, or that I can know to put the attribute to disable it onto those I know would trigger.
I'm sure it's far more complicated than this, but in case it helps anyone: I disabled the icon in many fields on my page just by removing 'id' from the name attribute of the FIRST input element.
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Schedule ID"
name="scheduleId" [(ngModel)]="scheduleId" aria-label="Schedule ID"/>
triggers icons on the page, not just on this form.
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Schedule ID"
name="schedule" [(ngModel)]="scheduleId" aria-label="Schedule ID"/>
does not.

I'm trying to scrape prices from this site:
https://www.pensketruckrental.com/quote/start.html
I can easily enter the form data, and I can activate the "Get A Quote" button and click it.
What I can't seem to do is get the form data to submit using a web scraper (I'm just doing it in VBA). When I input text using the scraper, the button remains grayed out, and even making a .click call on the button just displays errors on the form telling you not to leave the fields blank. Apparently it only recognizes data when you use an input device?
The code for one of the required fields, pickupLocation, is the following when I enter it manually (and thus the button works and the form can be submitted):
<input
type="text"
id="pickUpLocation"
name="pickUpLocation"
class="penskeValidateField penskeGoogleTypeAhead penskeInlineError ng-isolate-scope ng-touched ng-focused ng-dirty ng-valid-penske-err_loc_empty_sa ng-valid ng-valid-parse ng-valid-required"
aria-invalid="false"
aria-required="false"
country="rentalEntryCtrl.formItems.country"
penske-validate-field="pickuplocation"
required=""
autocompelete="off"
data-penske-placeholder="rentalEntryCtrl.activePlaceHolders.pickUpLocation"
ng-model="rentalEntryCtrl.formItems.pickupLocationSearchCriteria.address"
autocomplete="off">
And when I enter the data automatically using my scraper the tag & attributes read as follows:
<input
type="text"
id="pickUpLocation"
name="pickUpLocation"
class="penskeValidateField penskeGoogleTypeAhead penskeInlineError ng-pristine ng-isolate-scope ng-invalid ng-invalid-required placeholder ng-touched"
aria-invalid="true"
aria-required="true"
country="rentalEntryCtrl.formItems.country"
penske-validate-field="pickuplocation"
required=""
autocomplete="off"
data-penske-placeholder="rentalEntryCtrl.activePlaceHolders.pickUpLocation"
ng-model="rentalEntryCtrl.formItems.pickupLocationSearchCriteria.address"
autocompelete="off">
So of course I tried to copy the fields in the first code block into the second code block using setAttribute(), but even though I could change the attributes, I still couldn't get the form to submit properly.
I've looked at others that have dealt with something somewhat similar with autocorrect; their solutions have involved looking at the header and responses and just using the straight XHR to loop through the autocomplete queries, but the pricing information I'm scraping comes after several pages of form submissions, so that's not an option here.
I'm stuck I think; any ideas on how to populate the form and click the button/submit via my scraper?
I have two fields in my form which Chrome falsely identified as credit card numbers (one is for a phone number and one is for a fax number). There are also two fields for firstnames which Chrome thinks are fields for credit card names and want to autofill. Is there some attribute I can use on these elements to tell Chrome that they are in fact not related to a credit card?
I've tried setting autocomplete="false" on the inputs. This removed the autofill options for address/contact information, but the credit card option was still there.
I finally found a workaround! Set the autocomplete attribute as "cc-csc". That value is the CSC of a credit card and they are no allowed to store it! (for now...)
autocomplete="cc-csc"
Have you tried:
autocomplete="nope"
At first glance this may look silly but ...
In some cases, the browser will keep suggesting autocompletion values
even if the autocomplete attribute is set to off. This unexpected
behavior can be quite puzzling for developers. The trick to really
forcing the no-autocompletion is to assign a random string to the
attribute --- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Turning_off_form_autocompletion
I had the same issue and solved the problem by changing:
<input type="text" ...>
To
<input type="email" ...>
This will add the "#" on the user keyboard, but no problem.
Or
<input type="search" ...>
This will change the "confirm button" on the user keyboard to the "search button". It is less intuitive than the previous solution.
Chrome requires at least one input with autocomplete="on" attribute to use 'off' with others. So you can do a trick:
<input autocomplete="on" style="opacity: 0; position: absolute; pointer-events: none">
<input autocomplete="off" type="text">
...
I had the same issue and ended up going with this:
<input
type="search"
enterkeyhint="go"
/>
type="search" was the only one that seemed to work for me (taken from José's answer).
enterkeyhint="go" removes the search or magnifying glass from the "enter" button on virtual keyboards.
I know you can do this with the API, but not sure about the regular signup form.
Does anyone know if it is possible to add some code to the advanced signup form in MailChimp that would automatically add them to a specific group within my list?
I am only collecting the email address and I don't want the subscriber to have to select the group manually. If they are using that form, I want them added to that group.
I have asked MailChimp for help, but they tell me that their customer support doesn't code and that I should hire an expert.
Perhaps a segment of the relevant code may help:
<form action="http://lalala.us2.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="345fc4974810ef65c8276c8">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="25c4d1b28">
<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="right" class="formLabel"><strong>Email Address</strong> <span class="asterisk">*</span>:</td>
<td align="left">
<input type="email" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" name="MERGE0" id="MERGE0" size="25" value="*|MERGE0|*">
<br><span class="error">*|HTML:EMAILERROR|*</span></td>
</tr>
Is there a hidden input type that I can add with a list grouping name that will auto add them to a group?
This is an old question, but I came across it looking for the answer myself and couldn't find a good answer anywhere (including the other answer here which is poor at best). When I couldn't find anything on this I was able to figure it out with a little experimentation.
It requires a couple steps. First, add your Group and the options you want the Group to contain (it can only be 1 if you want). Initially make sure the Group is not set to hidden. Go to your main default sign-up form in MailChimp under Sign Up Forms > General Forms. Verify the Group option(s) are visible and then use the Sign up form URL to visit your hosted sign-up form. Now, open the raw HTML in your browser using right-click > View Source. You need to find the INPUT element for the group / option you want. It will probably look something like this:
<input type="checkbox" data-dojo-type="dijit/form/CheckBox" id="group_8" name="group[13257][8]" value="1" class="av-checkbox">
The name parameter is the critical thing here. Copy and paste that entire input element inside your custom form. Now, use inline CSS to hide it and HTML to hard-code it to checked. You can also remove extra stuff too. The final version in your custom form should look something like this:
<input type="checkbox" id="group_8" name="group[13257][8]" value="1" checked="checked" style="display:none">
This will ensure that it is not visible to the user but it will automatically add them to the group defined by the name parameter that you grabbed from the form which showed it.
The final step is to go back and make sure you set that Group to Hidden to make sure it doesn't inadvertently show up on other forms.
Pretty simple!
All I did was delete the other checkboxes (as well as the unordered list and list item tags around them) and change the checkbox representing the default group I wanted into a hidden field. Literally just type="hidden" instead of type="checkbox" and that did the trick.
You should be able to add a hidden input field with the name of the MERGE TAG set for the specific group.
However, for this functionality it would be much easier to utilize the MailChimp API (even though your question suggests you'd rather not).
I have a little problem here. Actually, more of an annoyance.
I have a form on my index page that has a small search form:
<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input name="search" type="text" />
<input type="submit" name="submit">
now on the search.php file I just use the $_POST['search'] to retrieve the value that I'm searching. This file also displays the actual search results, which I can click on to go to that page.The search is actual done on the database. Also, because my search returns the top 10 random results from the DB, if I hit the 'back' button and confirm the warning, the search will be executed again, and will return a different set of results.
The problem, as you know, is that when you click on one of the search results and then hit 'back' on the browser, you get that browser warning about 'To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.'.
What's the easiest way to prevent this from happening? I looked into that PRG technique but I'm not sure how to implement that.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bruno.
Is it OK to use GET method here, users won't see warning if form sent by GET method.
Last night, I did a quick spike to try and implement username/password autocomplete in my GXT application. By "autocomplete", I don't mean Ajax-style autocomplete, but rather browser-based autocomplete. The best information I found on this via google is in the following post:
http://osdir.com/ml/GoogleWebToolkit/2009-04/msg01838.html
I didn't use this technique because I'm using GXT and didn't want to lose the look-and-feel of my login form.
I was successful in getting everything to work in Firefox (it populates both the username and password). In IE, it only populates the username, not the password. In Safari/Chrome, it doesn't work at all.
Here's how I did it:
Created a hidden HTML form on my HTML page that embeds GWT.
<form method="post" action="javascript:void(0)" style="display: none">
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" value=""/>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" value=""/>
<input type="submit" value="Login" id="login"/>
</form>
When a user clicks on the "Login" button in my GWT application, populate the fields in this hidden form and "click" on the Login button (which will do nothing since the action="javascript:void(0)".
// Set the hidden fields to trigger the browser to remember
DOM.getElementById("username").setAttribute("value", username.getValue());
DOM.getElementById("password").setAttribute("value", password.getValue());
clickFormLogin();
...
public static native void clickFormLogin() /*-{
$doc.getElementById("login").click();
}-*/;
This works in Firefox 3.5 and prompts me to save the user/pass at the top of the screen. I believe I know why this doesn't work in Safari/Chrome and that's because the form's action doesn't go anywhere and the form is not submitted. If I change the action to be an actual URL and show the form, clicking on the form's Login button will save it in those browsers.
After typing this up as a question here, I got to thinking this might make a good blog post. Therefore, I copied everything and added a bit to my blog:
http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/browser_based_username_password_autocomplete
Summary and Question
While I'm glad I got it working in Firefox, I'm disappointed with IE's lack of password autocompletion. More than anything, I can't help but think there's a way to make this work in WebKit-based browsers.
Anyone know how to implement cross-browser username/password autocomplete in GWT (specifically GXT)?
Use persistent Cookies instead.
IE do save passwords, if user chooses to, but it works different. You need to type at least the username so it will autocomplete the password.
You need a plain vanilla html submit button. I think that will fix it.
