Answer 1

I had a form that I needed to submit for some monitoring. I did it like this:

$("input[type=email]").value = "me@something.com"
$("input[type=email]").defaultValue = "me@something.com"
$("input[type=password]").value = "mystellarpassword"
$("input[type=password]").defaultValue = "pinpmystellarpasswordss"
$("input[type=email]").dispatchEvent(new Event('input', {target: $("input[type=email]"), bubbles: true} ));
$("input[type=password]").dispatchEvent(new Event('input', {target: $("input[type=password]"), bubbles: true} ));
$("button.login").click()

Note that for the website I was logging into, I had to set both value and defaultValue. There was some extra validation logic bound to the input.value
