Auto fill

Through the URL

Parameters can be passed through the URL. These parameters are placed after the question-mark in the URL. Parameters are separated by a &-sign.

Example:

http://www.uwwebsites.nl/product/bestellen?cb_email=frank@cobrowser.net&cb_firstname=Frank&cb_l[]=Medewerker&cb_l[]=Cobrowser

The following parameters are recognised by CoBrowser.net:

• cb_lastname, cb_firstname, cb_company, cb_webaddress, cb_email, cb_phone, cb_cellphone, cb_city and cb_country
• To add labels use cb_l[] (see example). You can add more labels in one URL.
• To remove labels use cb_rl[]. You can remove more labels in one URL.

Using Javascript

Labels and fields can also be set and unset by using Javascript-calls. The following Javascript-functions are available:

• window.Cobrowser._setField(name, value [, callback = optional]) : for filling the fields of cb_lasttname, cb_firstname, cb_company, cb_webaddress, cb_email, cb_phone, cb_cellphone, cb_city and cb_country
• window.Cobrowser._addLabel(name [, callback = optional]) : for adding a label
• window.Cobrowser._removeLabel(name [, callback = optional]) : for removing a label
• window.Cobrowser._addNote(note [, callback = optional]) : for adding a note

The function window.cbReady can be implemented as onReady callback of the CoBrowser.net applciation. This way the Javascript functions are called when the application is fully loaded and active.

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.cbReady = function()
  {
    // wait for cobrowser to be ready and initialized, than start this function
    var _cb = window.Cobrowser; //shortcut to cobrowser api
    var _cq = window.cbQuery; //shortcut to jquery api

    // add firstname and lastname
    _cb._setField('cb_firstname', 'John');
    _cb._setField('cb_lastname', 'Smith');

    // set field with callback
    _cb._setField('cb_email', 'john@example.com', function(response) {
      //console.log(response);
    });

    // add label without callback (only existing labels will be added)
    _cb._addLabel('test');

    // remove label without callback
    _cb._removeLabel('test');

    // set field when user types email address, replace field_email with the id of the input element
    _cq('#field_loan').bind('blur.autofill', function() {
      _cb._addLabel('test');
    });
  };
</script>

Note:

• Values are overwritten with every call.
• Adding of labels only works for existing labels (security measure).
