Autocomplete in edit forms

[nemo57]

Hi,

I cannot set my web browsers (ff, chromium) in order to take advantage of the browser form autocomplete feature.
I mean the text and textarea fields in the forms, not the lookup fields.
Is there any way to achive this?

best regards, rob

Hi Rob,

If I am not mistaken, autocomplete is only available for elements that are part of an HTML form.
But...
the fields of an Edit form do not belong to a HTML form.

Using jQuery's wrap(), we can insert an HTML form around the DIV #nuRECORD that contains all fields of a form.

Place this JavaScript in the Header Tab (under Setup) to activate autocomplete for all forms:

Code: Select all

function nuOnLoad() {

    if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {
		
		// This will probably suffice if there is just on nuRECORD in the window
		$("#nuRECORD").wrap('<form id="nuFormWrapper"></form>');
		
		/* 
		// If there is more than one #nuRECORD, use this code (not sure if that can happen):
        $("#nuRECORD").each(function(index) {
            $(this).wrap('<form id="nuFormWrapper' + index + '"></form>');
        });
		*/

    }
}

If desired, it can also be activated for only one or some specific forms.

Important: Log out and back in again for the change to take effect.

Please let me know if that works for you.
