I have the following code in a partial page used for login...
Here is an alternative solution that is semantically sound AngularJS: http://victorblog.com/2014/01/12/fixing-autocomplete-autofill-on-angularjs-form-submit/
myApp.directive('formAutofillFix', function() {
return function(scope, elem, attrs) {
// Fixes Chrome bug: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/6NlucSskQjY
elem.prop('method', 'POST');
// Fix autofill issues where Angular doesn't know about autofilled inputs
if(attrs.ngSubmit) {
setTimeout(function() {
elem.unbind('submit').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
elem.find('input, textarea, select').trigger('input').trigger('change').trigger('keydown');
scope.$apply(attrs.ngSubmit);
});
}, 0);
}
};
});
Then you attach the directive to your form:
<form ng-submit="submitLoginForm()" form-autofill-fix>
<div>
<input type="email" ng-model="email" ng-required />
<input type="password" ng-model="password" ng-required />
<button type="submit">Log In</button>
</div>
</form>
A nice thing about autocomplete is that it leaves the form $pristine.
You can do a simple check and get the value when needed:
if($scope.[form_name].$pristine){
var input document.getElementById([input_id]);
var input_value = input.value
}
You can then submit the value or replace it e.g $scope.[module] = input.value
