Fix: Autofill on Server Side

This issue has been successfully resolved by implementing a fix for the server-side autofill functionality as seen in gh-40 . Previously, there were inconsistencies and error messages when trying to fill in the form, causing inconvenience and inaccuracies in data entry. With the recent fix, users can now experience a seamless and accurate autofill process on the server side. This improvement ensures that relevant data is automatically populated with precision, enhancing user efficiency and reducing manual data entry errors. Our team should thoroughly test and implemented the fix to guarantee a reliable and efficient autofill experience. Thanks!

Attention:

Hello, @HassanBahati It appears that using chrome causes the error message to appear. I've tested it on various browsers, and to my surprise, it functions flawlessly. However, it seems that after completing out the form, nothing is sent; instead, a blank email window is opened, requiring the user to input their message again.

On the server side, autofilling often combines client-side input with server-side processing. One of the ways to enable autofilling in HTML forms is by using the autoComplete="on" attribute, as I previously indicated. This attribute tells the browser to offer autofill suggestions based on previously entered data when it is added to an input tag.

I hope this explanation helps clarify how autofilling on the server side works. Let me know if you have any further questions!
