Automating Form filling

So here is a fun way to fill forms with random values for testing them in
the development phase. Open up the javascript console and execute the
following code:

(function() {
    var elements = [];

    [].push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("input[type=email]"));
    [].push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("input[type=text]"));
    [].push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("input[type=password]"));
    [].push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("input[type=search]"));
    [].push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("textarea"));

    elements.forEach(function(e) {
        e.value = "test_" + Date.now();
    });
}());

Simple script to automate form filling for fun and profit. Try it on the facebook login page.

Good example, is there any reason not to use elements.push.apply instead of [].push.apply as elements is also array.

Example with elements.push.apply and comma separated querySelectorAll

(function() {
    var elements = [];
    elements.push.apply(elements, document.querySelectorAll("input[type=email], input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=search], textarea"));
    elements.forEach(function(e) {
        e.value = "test_" + Date.now();
    });
}());

No special reason, I just save 6 characters of typing 😃
