Form Saver
Submitted by moxley on Fri, 2007-06-08 03:35
Auto-fill bookmarket for developers
This bookmarket will save the field values of a form so that it can be automatically filled out with the same values later on, just by visiting the bookmark. The values are saved in a Javascript URL, which can be saved as a bookmark (i.e., bookmarklet).
- Bookmark this link: Auto-Fill Bookmarket Maker
- Go to the page with the form you want to record and fill out the form
- Select the new bookmark.
- A small window will pop up showing the bookmarket source code. Copy the contents starting with "javascript..." to the end of string of text ("()").
- Create a new bookmark and paste the clipboard contents to the bookmark's URL
- Next time the form needs to be filled out, just go to the form and select the form's bookmark
