I improved your code:

- added “tolower()” for fieldnames with mail and name in it
- replaced “email” by “mail”
- added a random subdomain for the email so the chance is lower you get the same email address again
- never use option 0 in a SELECT because that is often “please choose”
- always add the name of the field in the value
- when “phone” is in the fieldname just write a number

So here’s the thing, we all know we hate forms, the only thing we hate more than forms themselves is actually filling out forms. But the forms are the interface to our web apps, so we cannot do without them. What we would love to do without, but can’t, is skip the application testing part where you fill out forms like there’s no tomorrow, just to make sure your app is rock solid.

This is awesome, however I would like it to be a bit more "predictable". Could you make it so that any text fields (input,textarea,etc) are the _name_ of the tag... so if I have:

then your script would put the string "serial_number" or "Serial Number" or something in the text box. This way, in debugging, I know what to expect in that $_POST['serial_number'] value. (This is PHP code of course, but the concept is useful for ANY web developer/language)

[...] Form auto-fill bookmarklet This is a bookmarklet. You go to page that has one or more forms and you click the bookmarklet. It completes the form for you with some random data. The whole thinking was to have a form ready to be submitted and generating as less validation errors as possible. (tags: web_development forms bookmarklets tools) [...]

Seriously man, you can consider yourself apart from the idiotic masses – great job. I was just about to add something like this to my own auto fill bookmarklet I’d written, and I saw yours, I LOVE how you handle textareas, great work indeed.

Thanks for restoring my faith in programming, i just tried a lorem ipsum generator addon, idiot wrote it to make a request to pull the content… so annoying I wanted to kill it with fire.

GREAT WORK!

I am looking for a little thing, bookmarklet, that would just autofill login and password on a given site.
for example, if I had 20 myspace accounts, I could make a bookmarklet for each account autofilling the login / pass. Firefox doesnt remember multiple account login info, Can anyone help me with that? I cant find this anywhere on the net
