Help with filling in forms.

I have difficulty spelling when i fill in web forms, is there a way i can check my spelling?

If you want to check your spelling before entering your details you can check there using your word processing package and copy the correctly spelled word into the desired field on the form. There are keyboard shortcuts to make the process go quicker click here to view the keyboard shortcut commands

I have difficulty to repeatedly entering my details onto a website form, is there a way around this?

Yes! There is a way if you download a toolbar such as the google toolbar you can fill your details into the auto–fill and then when you have to fill in your details again, all you need to do is click auto–fill and the rest is done for you.

However: this is always not available as the auto–fill function uses the names of the fields on the form, if a website has been created and the fields are named irrelevantly then auto–fill will not work. E.G if an email field has a name of football then auto–fill will fail to recognise it.
