An idea I’m working on at the moment as apposed to to most of my theoretical or "maybe someday" ideas.
The background to this is I've spend quite a lot of time working on a web form based project at work implementing and test a number of new features. Anyone who's done this knows how annoying it can be especially if you don't really care about the data you're putting into the form but the how the code handles the input afterwards.
I'm sure there are products to test web forms automatically but I can't find it/don't want to pay for it
the second part of the puzzle that lead me to today's idea is I was playing with YUI, a java script library from yahoo when i noticed they had a number of events including konami code.
The konami code is a famous computer game cheat code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a). There are tons of website use it to hide litte Easter eggs and stuff (ex http://www.geekandhype.com/)
I liked the idea of it but didn't like YUI (too slow) so i found a java script version and had a bit of fun with it.
anyway the idea began to swirl, if i could have a java script kick off with a key stroke i could use it to auto fill these form fields
So here's my idea. A app that allows you to upload, let’s say an aspx/html page. The app then presents you with a list of textbox, drop down lists, data time fields for you to give a default value, you click next and an aspx page is generated like the one you uploaded but with java script added that will autofill those fields when a certain key stoke combo is entered.
Simple
