Executing Javascript code on the spot in Chrome?

rated 0 times [ 27] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 111282 / 13 Years ago, sat, april 9, 2011, 12:00:00

I have a page in chrome which contains many textboxes and I wish to feed values automatically to them. I already have the list of name-value pairs, so if I could simple execute a series of Javascript commands on the form document.getElementsByName(NAME)[0].value = VALUE; I'll be done (I hope...)

So the question is - can I run a JS code on the spot, or do I have to use a content script somehow?

Right click on the page and choose 'inspect element'. In the screen that opens now (the developer tools), clicking the second icon from the left @ the bottom of it opens a console, where you can type javascript. The console is linked to the current page.
