Hi robmm76. I looked at the link that you provided. It appears the reason that the auto fill is not working for the address field is because of how that field was programmed on the site. It was programmed so that you would type part of your address and click on the correct one and it would then fill in the city, state and zip code. So that field is simply a special case.

I hope that this information answers your question. If you need any more information or help please feel free to reply to this answer.

The Street name field has an autocomplete="off" attribute as you can see if you right-click the form and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) with this element selected.

You can try this bookmarklet:

javascript:(function(){var I,N=document.querySelectorAll('input[autocomplete]'),i,j=0;for(i=0;I=N[i];i++){if(I.getAttribute('autocomplete')=='off'){I.setAttribute('autocomplete','on');alert('['+(++j)+'] '+I.nodeName+': '+(I.name||I.id))}}})()

Thanks for the insight. I shall contact the site about changing their form.

Autocomplete does not work on the street address field. This means that the completed form is missing the address. What is special about the address field and why does autocomplete not work? I have NOT opted for "do not track". http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/918/708/047/

The site has fixed the page and autocomplete now works correctly.

Thanks for the great support!
