Auto Save Forms User Script

Greasemonkey is a truly impressive addition to Firefox and will be IS a nice addition to Opera 8. In simple terms, it allows you to write custom JavaScripts to run on any sites you like (or even all sites). There is a fairly healthy group of scripts already available, and many more surely on the way.

  • Auto-Save Forms
    This script saves all text in forms to a cookie for you as you type. If you any reason you lose the data in the form (eg your PC crashes, your session expires, etc), you can click the "Repopulate Form" button and your text will be restored.

forms repopulated with XML data?
United States #1: April 28, 2006
My client would like to be able to see and print form inquiries like the HTML form the visitor used. In other words have the existing form(s) populated with the XML data the user submitted or have the user submissions email the HTML form with fields autopopulated with the XML data. Would this script help accomplish that? I've been searching awhile and this seems to be close but I'm a novice coder and not sure what to do with your script.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

I have installed the script in firefox but I don't see any "repopulate" button.
Where is this cookie stored?

thanks!

I'm also not seeing any repopulate button or stored cookie. (With Firefox 2.0.0.3 and accepting Cookies)

The repopulate form button appears in the top right of the page you are currently browsing. You may need to scroll up to see it.
