Automatic filling of fields in Yandex browser: how to work, how safe, useful information. Autocomplete in chrome

As already mentioned in the announcement of this note, when entering any value in the field, the user is offered a choice of options. When clicking on one of them, the value is written into the field and the user can move on to the next one. Watch the video:


We specify the data for substitution using JavaScript. Then we activate the plugin for a specific field.

The advantage of the solution is that you can use different variables for several fields.

What fields should I use autocomplete with?

In theory, the autocomplete plugin is intended to replace large long lists with one small input.

As for the checkout page, this may be the city of delivery from the list of available ones. For the search form, these can be the most popular queries that you collect through Yandex.Metrica or store search statistics.

The main task is to fill in the variable with data that will be inserted into the form field.

How to provide data for selection?

We'll use JavaScript for this. If you do not have programming skills in this language, do not worry, you will not need them. Just follow the instructions. Open any text editor, even Notepad will do:

After the page is ready, define the city array and add a comma-separated list of cities to it:

$ (document) .ready (function () (var city \u003d new Array ("Moscow", "St. Petersburg", "Khabarovsk");));

As you can see, everything is simple: the data is indicated in quotes separated by commas. There can be many of them.

Do not close or save the file in notepad. In the next paragraph, we will add plugin initialization to it.

Plugin connection jquery.autocomplete.pack

First of all, you need to download and connect the plugin. This article talks about the version. To connect the current version of the plugin, go to the Autocomplete Plugin website.

After you have downloaded the script, include it in the template of the page where the form is located. In our example, this is the service forms page template provided... ... Before the closing tag

add:

For correct display we need CSS styles as well. Add the following styles to your web store's CSS:

Ac_results (padding: 0px; border: 1px solid black; background-color: white; overflow: hidden; z-index: 99999;) .ac_results ul (width: 100%; list-style-position: outside; list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0;) .ac_results li (margin: 0px; padding: 2px 5px; cursor: default; display: block; font: menu; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; overflow: hidden;) .ac_loading (background: white url ("/ img / indicator.gif") right center no-repeat;) .ac_odd (background-color: #eee;) .ac_over (background-color: # 0A246A; color: white;)

Also add the indicator.gif image to the / img folder.

Now let's go back to our notebook:

As you can imagine, the plugin will not work by itself. It needs to be "enabled" and configured. This is done like this:

$ ("# order-fld-1"). autocomplete (city, (delay: 3, minChars: 1, matchSubset: 1, autoFill: true, maxItemsToShow: 10, max: 20));

Let's look at what is written here in order.

  • # order-fld-1 is the id of our field in which the user will enter data. I put the value in the field when placing an order with number 1. You can replace it with any other simply by substituting the required field number. The number can be found in the control panel - Manage order fields;
  • city \u200b\u200b- the name of the variable into which we entered our data in the previous paragraph;
  • delay - delay before the drop-down list appears;
  • minChars - the minimum number of characters after the introduction of which hints appear;
  • maxItemsToShow - the number of hints to be displayed.

Once you have configured all of the above parameters, just add all the code to the file:

$ (document) .ready (function () (// Data for autocomplete var city \u003d new Array ("Moscow", "St. Petersburg", "Khabarovsk"); // Run the plugin $ ("# order-fld-1 ") .autocomplete (city, (delay: 3, minChars: 1, matchSubset: 1, autoFill: true, maxItemsToShow: 10, max: 20));));

For simplicity, I have omitted to list all cities here. It actually looked like this in notepad:

Now we save our file. I named it ac-city.txt. and set the encoding to UTF-8:

Now go to the file manager and upload the file to the / js folder:

Of course, we cannot use a file with the .txt extension as a script, so click on the "Rename" button opposite the file and change the extension to .js:

Now the last thing - you need to connect the script for the service forms page template:

Total

  1. Download and upload the Autocomplete plugin - jQuery plugin 1.0.2
  2. Create a file with data for autocomplete or use a ready-made example
  3. Connect scripts for the service forms page template

The search module is not installed.

Those users who often have to spend a lot of time on the Internet doing, for example, registering products, mailing materials or online shopping, spend a lot of time filling out various web forms. Logins, passwords, names, addresses, zip code and much more ...

Endless waiting for the registration to complete after entering practically the same data. To simplify this routine work can special programs designed to automatically fill in forms.

There are a lot of programs of this class on the Web, but there are only a few real generalists among them, since most of such programs often have too narrow specialization.

While surfing the Internet, you often have to fill out various forms on web pages, while indicating the same data - last name, first name, address, date of birth, and much more. With the help of special programs, you can save this data in a special database, and, if necessary, substitute them into forms on web pages.

IE Scripter

Developer site:www.iescripter.com
Distribution size:1.2 Mb
Status:Shareware

As a result of installation, IE Scripter adds its own button to the Internet Explorer browser toolbar. Having met the form on the web page, you need to enter the data, and then click this button. An additional panel will be displayed in the browser window, with the help of which the program operation is controlled. You can save the data entered into the form. At the same time, the program allows you to select which values \u200b\u200bshould be saved and which ones should be omitted.

Having met the form on another site, in order to use the saved data, click the Load button, and the program will automatically substitute all the values \u200b\u200bin the required fields. However, it should be noted that the program does not always work correctly, especially for drop-down fields. In addition, the use of different data for one page opened in Internet Explorer is not provided, for example, data from several mailboxes cannot be applied - the program cannot remember several sets of values.

In addition to this filling method, you can save a standard set of values \u200b\u200bin the IE Scripter database, which the program will use when filling out forms encountered on web pages. These parameters should be set in the program settings window. It should be noted that the set of standard parameters is insufficient, and they are not always enough for filling out forms. These settings can be loaded from a set saved in Internet Explorer settings. In addition, the program does not have the ability to edit the list of keywords by which the type of field in the web form is determined.

The program has flexible settings. The settings can be saved in a special file. Additional features of the program include a password generation tool and viewing cookies.

iNetFormFiller

After installation and mandatory registration of the iNetFormFiller program, its icon will be placed in the system tray.

The main window of the program contains questionnaires with very detailed information about the user. It seems that the program developers have provided all possible options for input fields, even those that are very rare when filling out web forms. Form data is saved in a profile, which can be customized by arbitrarily choosing the fields that will be included in it, as well as creating groups of fields. In addition, the questionnaire can contain fields of absolutely any standard. Moreover, some fields can be linked together. In this case, when you enter certain information in one field, the rest associated with it can be filled in automatically with the specified values. When creating a profile, the program supports the removal of unnecessary fields. And ready-made profiles can be saved as templates and used later when creating other profiles.

After installing the program, an additional iNEtFormFiller toolbar is built into the Internet Explorer browser.

This program also knows how to fill out forms in two ways - by substituting saved data into fields on a web page, or by saving data that was entered into forms on a web page. To fill out the form, just click the Fill button, and all data will be saved in the form.

All pages filled with the program are saved in a special section - the list of form cards. If you select a form card in the list, the fields of this page will be shown next to the program window, which can be edited offline, simply by entering the necessary values \u200b\u200bthere. Basically, a form card is the same web page with a form, but only with the structure saved.

In the mode of batch data entry, the program allows you to fill in online forms with typical data, while you can specify which data should be substituted from the profile, and which should be entered manually.

Another interesting tool available in iNetFormFiller allows you to record every user action performed in the browser. In this mode of operation, the program remembers not only the completed fields, but also each click on a link or button. You can memorize almost any set of actions, and then simply reproduce it the required number of times, changing, if necessary, some parameters.

It should be noted that the program is flexible in its customization. For each page, the program allows you to set your own settings, including various options for saving and filling. Thanks to the functions of export and import of settings and saved profiles, the program database can be transferred to another computer.

These pass cards can be used to fill out forms. And if you enter some data into the forms on web pages, the program will be able to recognize your actions and offer you to save this data.

Using the persona editor, you can manually save the data for later use when filling out forms. The contents of the program database, pass cards, as well as the ability to add new entries to the program database can be protected by passwords.

If multiple users are using the program, you can set their own parameters for filling out forms for each of them.

It should be noted that the program is highly customizable. For example, RoboForm allows you to completely customize the contents of the Internet Explorer context menu, and you can also customize the keyboard shortcuts used by the program to fill out forms.

WebM8

The program allows you to work with a lot of different data for filling out web forms. The main inconvenience of working with the program is that for each form you need to create its own separate list of field values. And to fill out the form, you should select in the program the necessary list of field values \u200b\u200bfor it, prepared in advance. Therefore, using WebM8, it is quite difficult to fill out different web forms found on different web pages. But if you need to fill out the same forms, the program will be the perfect solution for you.


Form autocomplete is a feature that allows you to automatically enter personal information in forms on websites, such as your name, address, email, or phone number. By default, autofill in Yandex Browser included.

Autocomplete is nice, but in order to insert your data into forms, the browser needs to store it on your computer. If malware enters your computer, an attacker can steal your data. And if, during your absence, a stranger opens a browser, he will be able to log in to sites under your name or find out your data in another way. Therefore, if the security of your data is much more important to you than convenience, you might want to disable autocomplete.

  1. Delete autofill data
  2. Disable autocomplete forms

Save autocomplete data automatically

Attention. If you want to prevent autofill data on a specific site from being saved in the browser, use Incognito mode. If necessary, you can turn off autocomplete forms in the browser.

The first time you enter information into a form (such as an address or phone number), the browser remembers it. When you re-enter the field, a list appears from which you can select the previously saved auto-complete option.

Set autocomplete data manually

You can manually create auto-complete options for address and bank card. In this case, you can edit them.

Create autocomplete variant Edit autocomplete variant Delete autocomplete variant

Search query autocomplete

Browser Smart Line queries

By default, the history of requests is saved in the browser. When re-entering, they are highlighted by a dot to the right.

"," hasTopCallout ": true," hasBottomCallout ": false," areas ": [(" shape ":" circle "," direction ": [" top "," right "]," alt ":" Saved search query "," coords ":," isNumeric ": false," hasTopCallout ": true," hasBottomCallout ": false)]))"\u003e

To delete searches saved in your browser:

Yandex search queries

If you are logged in to Yandex, your requests are saved by default - when you enter them again, they will be highlighted in purple. In addition, sites you visit frequently appear first in the list of search suggestions.

"," hasTopCallout ": true," hasBottomCallout ": false," areas ": [(" shape ":" rect "," alt ":" "," coords ":," isNumeric ": false), (" shape ":" circle "," direction ": [" top "," right "]," alt ":" Saved searches "," coords ":," isNumeric ": false," hasTopCallout ": true," hasBottomCallout " : false)])) "\u003e

You can disable saving queries in Yandex search and frequently visited sites on the page.

Few people like to enter the same or the same type of data into a table for a long time and monotonously. This is a rather boring job that takes up a lot of time. Excel has the ability to automate the entry of such data. For this, the function of autocomplete cells is provided. Let's see how it works.

Autocomplete in Microsoft Excel is done using a special fill marker. In order to call this tool, you need to move the cursor to the lower right edge of any cell. A small black cross will appear. This is the fill marker. You just need to hold down the left mouse button and drag in the direction of the sheet where you want to fill the cells.

How the cells will be filled already depends on the type of data that is in the original cell. For example, if there is ordinary text in the form of words, then when dragging using the fill handle, it is copied to other cells of the sheet.

Autocomplete cells with numbers

Most often, autocomplete is used to enter a large array of numbers that follow in order. For example, in a certain cell there is the number 1, and we need to number the cells from 1 to 100.


As you can see, after that, the entire required range was filled with numbers in order.

But you can make it even easier. You won't need to call autocomplete options. To do this, when you drag the fill marker down, then besides holding down the left mouse button, you need to hold down the button. Ctrl on keyboard. After that, filling the cells with numbers in order occurs immediately.

There is also a way to autocomplete a series of progression.


Fill tool

Excel also has a separate tool called "Fill in"... It is located on the ribbon in the tab "Home" in the toolbox "Editing".


With this tool, you can also fill cells with a progression.


Formula autocomplete

Formulas are one of the main Excel tools. If there are many identical formulas in the table, you can also use the autocomplete function. The essence does not change. You need to copy the formula to other cells in the same way as the fill marker. Moreover, if the formula contains references to other cells, then by default, when copied in this way, their coordinates change according to the principle of relativity. Therefore, such links are called relative.

If you want the addresses to become fixed during autocomplete, you need to put a dollar sign in front of the coordinates of the rows and columns in the source cell. Such links are called absolute. Then, the usual autocomplete procedure is performed using the fill marker. In all cells filled in this way, the formula will be absolutely unchanged.

Autocomplete with other values

In addition, Excel provides autocomplete with other values \u200b\u200bin order. For example, if you enter a date, and then, using the fill marker, select other cells, then the entire selected range will be filled with dates in strict sequence.

Likewise, you can autocomplete by day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ...) or by month (January, February, March ...).

Moreover, if the text contains any number, then Excel will recognize it. When using a fill marker, the text will be copied with the digit changing in ascending order. For example, if you write down the expression “4 case” in a cell, then in other cells filled with the fill marker, this name will be transformed into “5 case”, “6 case”, “7 case”, etc.

Adding your own lists

Excel's AutoComplete feature is not limited to specific algorithms or predefined lists such as days of the week. If desired, the user can add his personal list to the program. Then, when writing to a cell any word from the elements that are in the list, after applying the fill marker, this list will fill the entire selected range of cells. In order to add your own list, you need to perform the following sequence of actions.


As you can see, Excel autocomplete is a very useful and convenient tool that allows you to significantly save time on adding the same data, duplicate lists, etc. Another advantage of this tool is that it is customizable. You can add new lists to it or change old ones. In addition, using autocomplete, you can quickly fill cells with various types of mathematical progressions.
