Hi,

Autofill is not generating auto complete list for iFrame forms. Do you have any work around?

Everytime, I have to enter data manually and have to submit the same...

Hi thdoan,

The website I was using is a secured one. that needs login credentials to access that. I'm a software engineer, all that what I could see is, when a iFrame (Website inside another website) Form is embedded in a website and the IFrame hosted website has form fields, "Autofill" is not detecting those fields and not creating Autofill rules.

Structure of IFrame website, I am trying to access:

                 Actual Wesite [ IFrame (Another website URL is embedded (This has form fields and data to be entered)) ]

You can create a sample html for this condition and try debug your code.

When we take-out that iFrame embedded website URL and open the same in a different tap, Autofill rules detech fields and does work normally.

If you are the developer of this tool, could you please share me the code privately? I will also try to look into this code and can suggest you a fix for this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an alternative,


Paste below code

"<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Sample website to showcase I-Frame</h1>
<p>Iframe starts after this line (iFrame embedded website URL: http://www.123contactform.com/my-simple-html-contact-form.php) </p>
<iframe src="http://www.123contactform.com/my-simple-html-contact-form.php" height=500px width = 500px>
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
<p>Iframe end.</p>
</body>
</html>"

Click See Results:

Now you got a sample URL for this scenario

Form fields displayed on the right hand side (Your name, Your email, Your message:) are not considered while creating Autofill rules and they are neither filled from Autofill rules.


Thanks,
Dhanush M








But if you go to that Iframe URL, Autofill will work as expected. But when the Iframe url is embedded in another website it is not working.

Autofill appears to be working fine with iframes. It's even able to fill out an iframe within an iframe:


Something else may be going on.

OK, I think I know what you're talking about now... the Autofill wizard fails to generate rules when the form is in an iframe. Thanks for bringing this to my attention -- I will add it to my "to-do" list.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Dhanush,

The Firefox version is actually open source, so you can modify it any way you want:


Sorry, the Chrome version isn't open source at the moment, and I won't be able to work on it anytime this month because of the upcoming CNY festivities.

Hi Padmajith,

The developer said he will fix this soon (He sent me this reply early 2016). It should have been fixed now.

I am not using this utility now (though it is so good) 😂

This issue should already be fixed. If you are still seeing it, please provide me with a URL for testing.
