Hello there,
Thanks for reaching out. FluentForms already supports browser autocomplete functionality. You don’t need any additional features or custom code for this. To use it, please click on the specific input field from the preview. Once the field settings panel opens, you’ll find the Autocomplete data available below (if available, compared to the field type). From there, you can select the appropriate autocomplete value (such as name, email, address, etc.) based on the field type.
Thank you
Thanks for you reply. I double checked the input fields but was unable to find any reference to Autocomplete data. I can only see a Placeholder and Default Value fields but they are obviously not the same. Are you able to provide a screenshot of this field to enter the Autocomplete?
Hello there,
This is actually browser-specific. FluentForms doesn’t have any control over this. If the auto-complete feature is enabled in your browser and it has the particular data, then the data can be loaded in the form field (from the preview or embedding in a page) after clicking the respective field. This is how it works. I hope you understand.
However, no worries about the “Mark as resolved” option. We still have the email notification enabled. We will be notified instantly once you send a reply.
Thank you
Hmm, okay, let me try and be more specific about the issue as I think we’re not on the same page. I’m not talking about browser compatibility. I’m talking about being able to add autocomplete html attributes to the form and individual form fields. This is 100% in control of the plugin and something that is currently not outputted. Note that Chrome developer tools says this in the console:
- An element doesn’t have an autocomplete attribute
A form field has an <code class=” “>id or <code class=” “>name attribute that the browser’s autofill recognizes. However, it doesn’t have an <code class=” “>autocomplete attribute assigned. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form.To fix this issue, provide an <code class=” “>autocomplete attribute.
E.g. the form should have a general setting whether to set the autocomplete to either on or off. This would print something like <form id=”fluentform_1″ autocomplete=”on”…>
E.g. the form input fields should have a setting to set the autocomplete value. This would print something like <input id=”ff_1_input_text” type=”text” autocomplete=”family-name”…>
Hope that clears things up.
Hello there,
Thanks for sharing details about the scenario. I’m taking note of it and will forward to the respective team for further assessments. I hope they will consider it in the future. However, I couldn’t assure you about it.
However, would you please share some context about a particular use case regarding the feature?
Thank you
Thanks. Mostly it’s about web standards and accessibility. There are also use cases depending on what you use your forms for. E.g. if there’s a form users are likely to fill out more than once it’s nice to be able to select your previously entered details (like name, email or street address).
Look at the WP login form as well. It has autocomplete. Meaning you can select from different usernames you’ve logged in with before which is obviously very handy.
Hello there,
If you wish to let the users submit the form from the logged in state, then you can prefil the fields with the users information like name, email, etc. For this, you need to set the field default value. Please check the documentation regarding this: https://fluentforms.com/docs/dynamic-default-value-in-fluent-forms/
I hope it’ll be helpful for you.
Thank you
Yes, I know about that functionality. That’s definitely useful for some other scenarios.
Hello there,
To prefil the form fields, this is a way. Another way is to prefil them from the browser autosave content. Unfortunately, there’s no other workaround can be possible at this moment.
Thank you
