Find and fill an input field with AutoHotKey

Question

A challenge to all you AutoHotKey masters:

Give us a function that will Find and Move the Cursor to an Input Field (E.g. LoginName) and, alternatively send input text. For the old, lazy hackers like myself just fiddling with AHK, it would look like this:

FindFillField(*elementid*,*sendtext*,*alt-text*)

Where elementid is the HTML id for the field, e.g. USERNAME, where sendtext is the text to fill and where alt-text could be additional, specific text to help identify the fields.

Additional, optional parameters are always helpful to round out odd cases so let your imaginations run wild!

For old-timers like me, and for anyone, this would be a blessing in creating simple login macros.

Answer 1

You can always use the {TAB} option. Open the website and hit the TAB key until you reach the input field and count how many times you hit it. Then do Send {TAB ##}. I used the below to put in First name, middle name, last name, and 2 other id into a web form. The variables were entered into a GUI form that was created.

Send {TAB 41}
Send %firstn%
Send {TAB}
Send %middle%
Send {TAB}
Send %lastn%
Send {TAB}
Send %deas%
Send {TAB}
Send %npis%
Send {TAB 3}
Send {N}
Send {TAB 2}
Send {ENTER}
