How to move to an empty field to be ready for user input?

[Chris Green]

I have just installed Autofill to use with Vivaldi on xubuntu Linux.
I'm really impressed so far, good documentation, I've already managed
to get some simple forms autofilled and there's a Google group for
supoort - so thank you! :-)

Now to my question, I have a form where the last field to fill in has
to be filled manually because it's generated by a security device. Is
there a way to move the cursor to that field automatically using
Autofill once it has filled the other fields?

Yes, you can do anything you can dream up by using a JavaScript rule. If you provide the code for this input box, I can provide you with the JavaScript rule.

Here's the code:-


<div class="textInput">
<input type="password" id="idv_OtpCredential" name="idv_OtpCredential" data-dojo-props="required: true,successMessage:'Confirmed',
invalidInputMessage:'The security code must be between 5 and 8 numbers only. Please try again.',
minmaxMessage:'The security code must be between 5 and 8 numbers only. Please try again.',
regEx:'^[A-Za-z0-9]*$',
minLen:'5',
maxLen:'8',
missingMessage:'Please complete this field'">
</div>

I just want to move the cursor into the field ready for entry of the 'security code'.

Here's a JavaScript rule to automatically focus the password field:

let elPassword = document.getElementById('idv_OtpCredential');

if (elPassword) {

  elPassword.focus();

Yes, thank you, that worked too. It does need a very specific value
in the Site column to make sure it only acts when required, that was
the most difficult bit, escaping ? and such.

You're welcome. If you hover the mouse over the "?" in the column header, you will see a list of regex reserved characters that you'd need to escape. Regex is really fun & powerful when you master it.

I'm not an RE expert exactly but I have been using them since
somewhere back in the late 1970s or early 1980s. :-) Yes, they are a
'good thing' to know about.
