Fill In Routine Form Entries Automatically

Many Web sites ask you to type information about yourself in specified spaces called "forms." Instead of typing your information in every time, you can use AutoComplete to see a list of choices based on previously entered information.

When you begin to type information into a form, a list automatically appears. For example, after typing a couple of letters of your first name, you'll see your complete name in a list that drops down from the address space. From that list, you can select the information you want and it is automatically entered.
