Google autofill
1 February 2007, by Karl Bunyan
Google's toolbar often colours form fields in yellow, and whilst researching an interface coding standards document I found a useful description of how it picks fields from a form. 
I’ve been doing some research for a coding standards document and amongst the things to be covered will be forms. As well as using common naming conventions (like ‘email’) to help with autocomplete, I’ve also found some information about Google’s Toolbar that could be useful. The toolbar often colours form fields yellow, which not all clients want, so this gives an idea of how naming conventions can be used to either help it or prevent it. It refers to an RFC giving details of naming conventions which seems a little overblown for everyday use.
How do I make my webpage compatible with AutoFill?
