Form field names used by personal data auto-fill in browsers (Safari, Opera)

Question

I'm looking for complete list of form field names (<input name="…">) that are recognized by auto-fill functions in major browsers.

Here are some I've found to work in Safari using trial-and-error:

• email
• Ecom_ReceiptTo_Postal_Name_First
• Ecom_ReceiptTo_Postal_Name_Last
• first-name
• firstname
• last-name
• lastname
• full-name
• birthday
• company
• jobtitle
• phone
• street
• city
• country
• state (used for county outside US)
• postalcode
• zip

However I couldn't find separate field for title/honorific prefix (it's included in full name only).

Opera's Wand recognizes more or less the same names with exception of name, which requires Ecom_ReceiptTo_Postal_Name_First and Ecom_ReceiptTo_Postal_Name_Last.

I couldn't find field for mobile phone number. Haven't found way to get separate home/work fields.

There's proposal to extend autocomplete attribute to allow developers specify these explicitly.

Answer 1

I wasn't aware of the names you used. But I knew Mozilla/Netscape and IE use vcard_name attributes to guide autofill as described here.

Answer 2

According to http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070527063904285 the file Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ABAutoCompleteMappings.plist within the Safari.app package leads this list:

Answer 3

There is a RFC for this. But apparently some implementations search for labels rather than using field names.

Did you try Ecom_ShipTo_Postal_Name_Prefix, Ecom_BillTo_Postal_Name_Prefix or Ecom_ReceiptTo_Postal_Name_Prefix for the title?

There doesn't seem to be any option for multiple phone numbers described in the RFC. Just Ecom_ReceiptTo_Telecom_Phone_Number etc

Answer 4

This might be a silly suggestion*, but have you considered getting the source and poking around? Webkit is here, Firefox is here (kinda). It won't help with Opera or IE though.

* It'd be silly for me, c/c++ is all double duch to me :-)
