Autofill e-mail and telephone fields

[Dennis Rusch]

How can I fill the 'name' property (of the editfield on the webpage) of an TUniEdit field so the autofill knows what content to put in it.
When using the FieldLabel property of the TUniEdit the 'name' property is filled with that value. But as I cannot use the FieldLabel property for this puprose I would like to fill the 'name' property myself. But I cannot seem to find a way.

When I use the 'Telephone' as a value for the FieldLabel, the name of the edit control on the form will be 'Telephone:' and the webbrowser will fill in the telephone number if present.

How can this be done?

 

Regards,

Dennis

Hello,

The best way here is to use UniDBEdit.

if you want to use UniEdit :

UniEdit1.Text:= MyDataSet.Fields.FieldByName('Telephone').AsString;

Thank you for your reply.

I am using version 1.90.0.1541 and the desktop edition.

I am not trying to fill the edit field, but I am trying to alter the 'name' property of the field on the webform (in the browser). That name property is what the browser uses to auto fill the corrrect value into the editfield. Normally the 'name' property is empty, but when I use the FieldLabel property of the TUniEdit the 'name' property in the browser will contain the value of the FieldLabel property as set in the TUniEdit.

I would like to fill the 'name' property without using a FieldLabel. Is this possible?

 

Regards,

Dennis

Please explain in more detail.

An Edit field on a form on a website has a 'name' property. This name property is used by the browser to determine what kind of information it contains. And therefore it knows what information from an address should go in which edit field (using auto fill). 

When I specify a TUniEdit.FieldLabel (e.g. telephone) with the TUniEdit UNIGUI copies this value in the 'name' property of the edit field on the webform. And now the browser knows that it should fill in the telephone number at that field when the user chooses to auto-fill the form with his contact information.

I would like to fill this 'name' property without using the TUniEdit.FieldLabel.

I've added two screenshots with the resulting form-editfield. One without the TUNIEdit.FieldLabel filled and one with the TUniEdit.FieldLabel filled with 'Telephone'.

function afterrender(sender, eOpts)

  var me = sender.inputEl;
