Auto-fill FedEx forms in Safari via AppleScript
While this is a great time saving hint I would also point to a great piece of shareware that handles these types of tasks called 1Password:
[link:]http://1passwd.com/ While I didn't think I would use this very much at first it has become one of those programs that I can't imagine using my Mac without. $30, but worth it in my opinion. If you are constantly filling out forms or have many passwords this is a great and secure way of storing everything. -A
Auto-fill FedEx forms in Safari via AppleScript
The reason you'd do this instead of using a password filler is if the fields you are filling in are coming from some other data source. As I said FedEx offers a JavaBeans interface but then you lose the ability to revise what's entered. Since FedEx has a very nice address checker which finds customer typos quite often I prefer using Safari. I have a little Python script which scans an email and then fills in the FedEx form. In this way I have a very nice little way of handling shipping from my e-commerce site without paying $5000+ for a more 'professional' (and less Mac-like) program. |
