ggt,

Thank you. I set up a simple test form to try these out for autofill:

http://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/autofilltest.php

Please try the page and attempt "autofill".

In Safari when I click the autofill button, some of these do indeed fill in
with my usual values, but not all of the ones I'd expect to.

Does autofill work by looking at the name attribute of input fields?

Is there an online reference for what browsers look for when attempting
autofill?
