Filling out form fields in Opera where the wand doesn't cover

Question

Is there a function in Opera that allows me to fill in form fields with repeated information or data that isn't covered by the Magic Wand? Or a way to have Opera's Wand be able to store information for other fields?

Or maybe there's a userscript that could do this instead?

To give you one example: when logging into any of the Stack Exchange sites, I need to manually enter (or enter from a note) the URL of the OpenID provider. I would like to automate this in particular plus several other sites where a similar situation exists.

Answer 1

Try this simple UserScript:

// ==UserScript==
// @name            OpenID fill out for StackExchange sites
// @include         http://superuser.com/users/login*
// @include         http://stackoverflow.com/users/login*
// @include         http://serverfault.com/users/login*
// @include         http://*.stackexchange.com/users/login*
// ==/UserScript==
(function ()
{
    window.addEventListener('load', function()
    {
        document.getElementById('openid_identifier').value = "https://your.url/for/openid";
        document.getElementById('show-more-options').style = '';
    }, false);
})();

Answer 2

Opera already has this covered for form entry fields you use often and repeatedly in the Forms data manager found in the Preferences panel.

1. Bring it up with either Alt + P or Ctrl + F12
2. Click on the Forms tab.
3. Fill it in as required.
4. Click OK

Next time you're on a site with a text input field, you can just tap on the down arrow or right-click for the context menu and select from the Insert Personal options.

Answer 3

I agree with both the other answers, but thought for completeness' sake I'd point out that there's a useful autocomplete extension that's a bit more generic than having a userscript for each similar case, and a bit more flexible than the "Insert Personal" fields provided out of the box.
