I want to load these field values via extension popup when the anchor link is clicked. How can I do that?

  • do you have filldata defined anywhere? – Jay Lane Nov 10 '17 at 03:28
  • What do you mean? – 7O07Y7 Nov 10 '17 at 03:31

  • @wOxxOm This question is not related to `onclick` not working in Chrome. The function is just not written/called correctly. – Chava Geldzahler Nov 10 '17 at 03:35
  • You can't know it's not related. It's a typical mistake in extension development. Anyway, the question doesn't provide complete info so no need to answer it prematurely. – wOxxOm Nov 10 '17 at 03:38
  • @wOxxOm To me it seems OP is trying to fill two input fields with data `onclick` of a button. However, the function is not being declared/called correctly, and is obviously not working. (See the next answer, which does the same thing using jQuery) – Chava Geldzahler Nov 10 '17 at 03:43
  • No need to argue over an incomplete question. The correct action is to urge the OP to provide the missing info - whether the code runs in the extension popup or whatever. – wOxxOm Nov 10 '17 at 03:47
  • Sorry for the confusion yes i am trying to run it in an extension popup which will inject onto a page and fill the data when clicked – 7O07Y7 Nov 10 '17 at 03:50

Using pure jQuery since you're already using some of it

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#fill").click(function(){
    $("#user").val("name@email.com")
    $("#pw").val("pass123")
  })
})

  • That works but i need it to be able to load via an anchor link/button as I'm putting it into a chrome extension (popup.html) – 7O07Y7 Nov 10 '17 at 03:45
  • This answer assumes you should add `id="fill"` to your html of the link. – wOxxOm Nov 10 '17 at 03:55
