27825 2001-12-17 15:12:00 I find it irksome having to type everything out in full everytime I enter my details before posting a queery on this page. A key stroke to jump to the next field would also help to streamline the process. What do you think? Guest (0)

You have my sympathy, but given that I suspect I post more often than you, not a lot.

Weird thing is, when I use one PC, my name is filled in already, and I just put in my email address. But on another I have to fill them all in.

Must be a setting in IE somewhere, but never been enough of an issue for me to go looking.

27827 2001-12-17 21:07:00 I'm not so sure Rob. I've set all the settings in IE for filling in forms etc. but they just won't remember my details on this site, I have to fill them in every time. And that's in both IE5.5 and IE6. I don't have a problem with it though, as I type fast enough and comfortably enough that it doesn't worry me :)

However, to Vincent, there is a simple keystroke to get to the next field. Its called the TAB key. You type in your first name, and hit the TAB key and it'll take you to the next field. Simple as that.

27828 2001-12-17 21:20:00 You don't happen to have Netscape on one PC and IE on the other, do you Rob? I just tried this in Netscape 6.2 and it does the same thing as in IE - doesn't fill in any data... EXCEPT when I turned on the (in my words) intelligent form filling. I told NS exactly what to fill in when opening the pages, and it did it for me... but I'm not sure if that'll work on another page, due to all the numbers that show up for each address - this may be why autocomplete doesn't work properly on this site, because every page looks like a new page, not one that's been to before.
