I'm aware that there is form filling software out there like Roboform and iMacros. What I want to know is how do they make it? For instance, how to they get access/permission to a text box to fill it in?

    Try to look for fireform mozilla firefox plugins, then you can inspect his code since it is an opensource software.

      It really depends how far you want to take it.

      Pretty much every browser has some kind of plugin API - an interface accessible via JavaScript or some other programming language.

      Also, windows provides you with an interface to access elements of other programs.

      You can do your research on this (Windows API, Firefox Extension API) etc.


      I guess RoboForm and other "premium" software uses a combination of the two.

    You don't need permissions. They are using the browser document objects to grab and fill the code. Can be done with Javascript or API interfaces to compiled language codes such as C, Delphi , Visual Basic, etc.

    You could try using Selenium, it is a automated browser runner, so you can record what you want to do with a Firefox or IE plugging, plus you can run different values from a spreadsheet. Google selenium and then start with the Wikipedia page.

    Automatic form filling software is a very useful type of software that many people still haven't heard of. I would go as far as to say its an essential for anyone who spends a lot of time online.
    I use it every single day and it saves me so much time. It is, simply put, software which improves the security of your computer by securely storing all your personal name and address details, your login names, your account passwords into one simple drop down menu which resides conveniently in your browser toolbar.
    With this type of software you can:

    1.Create complex uncrackable passwords for new accounts which improves account security (Remember all passwords should be unique)
    2. Automatically log in to your accounts with one click of a button.
    3. Totally foil 'phishing' attempts by matching correct passwords with correct websites.
    4. Stop hackers from accessing your personal data by 'key logging' tactics
    5. Allows for tedious sign up forms to get filled in automatically at the click of a button.
    6. Back Up and save your passwords and synchronize them between your different computers.
    Automatic form filling software can really speed up your log in times too, vastly increasing your internet surfing efficiency. Just try it on your Yahoo or Google email accounts and see how fast you get in!
    Good form filling/password security programmes can take away many problems and make opening new accounts easy and fast. It can also be great for anyone into online competitions allowing entry forms to be filled in super quickly and accurately each time.
