You can then click the 'Auto-Fill' button in the Google toolbar to
fill those fields... if you have provided the information that is...

This was the bane of my life on one particular project... as there was
a field named 'Country' in a drop down select box. If you selected
'Other' it would pop open a text field to enter the name of the
'Other' country.

You can see it here:

Problem is, the Google Autofill would happily set the menu to your
chosen country, but would not trigger the Javascript, so if you had
selected 'Other', then clicked the Autofill button, it wouldn't close
the text box.

The only solution I could come up with was to name the SELECT box
'coountry', and name the label in the field next to it
"C<b></b>ountry" so that it wouldn't be recognised as a country field.

Dodgy I know, but it worked...
