Autocomplete / Input Purpose Auditor

Missing autocomplete attributes break browser autofill and fail WCAG 1.3.5 (Identify Input Purpose) — hurting users with motor or cognitive disabilities. This tool maps each field to the correct W3C token and injects it with one click.

Introduction

The autocomplete attribute tells browsers and assistive tech what each field collects. Without it, autofill fails and users must retype everything — a real barrier that WCAG 1.3.5 addresses.

How it works

  • Finds every input/select/textarea.
  • Checks for an existing autocomplete attribute.
  • Infers the correct W3C token from name/id/type/label text.
  • "Inject autocomplete" adds missing tokens and outputs fixed markup.

Privacy

All auditing is local via DOMParser. No upload, no account, no API key.

Limitations

  • Heuristic inference; custom field names may need manual token selection.
  • Does not validate multi-token sequences (e.g., "shipping street-address") beyond common cases.

FAQ

What is WCAG 1.3.5?

Identify Input Purpose: the purpose of each input collecting user info must be programmatically determinable, typically via autocomplete.

Is my markup uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally.
