View Full Version : Form fill in

I have used Netscape for a long time and now I am using
IE which works very good.
But one thing I miss that I have now been able to find is
with Netscape I had a form manager which kept info like
my address, phone number, e-mail and so on, so that I
could hit one button and the form would fill it self in.
Is there something in IE that will do this.

Thank You
Mark

As YK says Gator is nasty spyware. Roboform, OTOH, is also free (unless you
wish to have more than 5 users and store over 30 passwords). It is NOT
spyware - it just does exactly what it says on the tin. I've been using it
for years - since its invention. It is an essential IE add-in and something
no self-respecting surfer should be without. It also means you can turn off
your cookies, which is good as many are worried about security. It doesn't
need them to function - all data is stored in a folder on your root c: disk
(if you've installed Windows to C) and can be easily backed up to a floppy.
It recognises form formats from at least 20 different countries (Gator is US
only) and you can customise the fields (e.g. the CCVN - credit card
validation number field - the three digits on the signature strip on the
back of the card. Some forms call it a 'validation number' some a 'security
number' and you can enter every single permutation you can think of so that
the field always gets filled correctly).
