AutoType and http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

[Walter Eagle]

I'm having problems getting AutoType to work as I'd like it on this site http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
However I don't know whether what I'd like is possible.

When the site launches there are two field: email and password. Neither of them has focus as default. I can't find any combination of tab, up, down, left, right, enter etc that will give focus to email as the first field. The only way seems to be to mouse click in it. From that point I can invoke AutoType and everything runs perfectly. I've got no other examples of sites that behave like this.

Ideally I'd like to automate the first part and eliminate having to physically click in the field. I'd like to launch the site from KeePass and login from KeePass using AutoType.

I guess this question addresses two audiences: the KeePass experts and the Fantasy Football League experts. Can anyone advise whether what I'm looking for is practical?

Thanks in advance

Ken

It's up to the site authors to place the cursor in the relevant field. If they don't do this you have to resort to clicking.

If you load KeeForm and just use it for that site.
Note: if you use the installer you will have to change the KeePass URL override back to the default KeePass value of "no override".

cheers, Paul

Today an auto-type that works to type the username and password is:

{DELAY 5000}{TAB 24}{ENTER}{DELAY 5000}{TAB 34}{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}

Because the tabs are tabbing through a game list, which could change in length, I wouldn't necessarily expect this sequence to work tomorrow. The large 5 second delay at the beginning of the auto-type is needed to let the page stabilize. The second delay is to allow the login page to load.

It is probably easier to use a basic auto-type sequence and manually put the cursor in the email field before pressing the auto-type key.

Thank you both for the responses.
Especially Wellread1 - how on Earth did you discover that sequence? That's dedication! I honestly thought I'd tried tabbing through every single possibility and it appeared it had started cycling round on the same sequence again without hitting on email or password.

I may try Paul's idea as a KeeForm learning exercise (I don't use it currently for anything) but it may be that a manual click is the simplest and best.

I've just realised how utterly decadent and idle I've become when I'm prepared to type a query and response here, all to avoid making one single mouse click! Shame on me!

PMJI, but if the time you spend composing queries and reading responses saves your sanity, it's probably worth it. Also, you should factor in the uncountable time and frustration you may be saving others with similar problems, now or in the future. (I've had several occasions where I've gone back to year-old posts and found new replies saying "Thank you for asking that question.")

Personally, I would use this page to log in: https://users.premierleague.com/PremierUser/account/login.html

It contains less junk and should be more predictable.
