    I would like the ability for an Autotype sequence to move the cursor to a field on a form based on the field's HTML "id" or "name" property. This would be most useful when logging into Microsoft Outlook web access (OWA) pages. I have several situations where browsing to the OWA login page places the cursor at a different field. Below are some examples of the type of OWA login page I'm talking about. These have nothing to do with my employer or my employer's clients.
    https://mail.micron.com/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogon?curl=Z2FowaZ2F&reason=0&formdir=1
    https://sommail.state.me.us/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogon?curl=Z2Fexchange&reason=0&formdir=3

    If this feature could use a jQuery-like selection grammer to identify the field, so much the better. In my experience the "id" field may not be unique. Yes I know this is bad design. Not my web page.

    KeePass knows nothing about the Web page it's Auto-Typing to; all it knows is that program X is displaying a window with a title that matches what you told KeePass to look for. KeePass doesn't even know whether the program it's sending keystrokes to is a Web browser or not; it very well could be something else entirely, like a word processor or a spreadsheet.

    Your suggestion is something that would be better handled by some sort of browser add-on.
