Autofill

Although not a basic part of IE7, my Google autofill used to work fine in IE
7 but now is grayed out. I checked and all the info is being remembered
(name, address, Credit Card #, etc) but the Autofill icon now grayed out. I
searched for a Google Newsgroup but didn't find one on my Cox news nor on MS
News.

I Googled "autofill grayed out" and found several references but they were
all from others having the same problem as I'm having now. Any ideas?
Help?

Re: Autofill

Hi,
Tried uninstalling / reinstalling the Google tolbar?

In IE> Tools> Manage add-ons, are all Google add-ons enabled?

Hope this helps,

Re: Autofill

OK. I tried that (uninstalling/reinstalling Google toolbar). It worked one
time (the autofill not being grayed out) but then it resumed showing the
autofill icon as grayed out. Any ideas where I might search this problem?

Re: Autofill

I Googled "autofill grayed out" and found this.

"The Google Toolbar's "autofill" button is enabled when you visit a page
that has fields autofill can fill. Otherwise, the button in the Toolbar
appears gray. We're aware that the "autofill" button may not always be
active when fields are highlighted, and we're currently investigating. We
appreciate your patience."
