How Do I Automate Fill of GMail Compose Form?

I'm trying to get it to recognize fields in the Gmail compose window, is that possible?I'd like to 'target' the 'To', 'Subject' and 'Body' fields in the compose window.

Using the Google Chrome Inspect tool, I discovered that the Gmail Compose window offers HTML Element Ids for each of the fields. For example, the Subject field id is ":h7".

Since we have the Element Id, it is easier to just use the document.getElementById() method, rather than using XPath.

So, I used this JavaScript to set the Subject field:

var subjectElem = document.getElementById(":h7")
subjectElem.value = "My TEST Subject"

You would, of course, put all of the JavaScript in a JavaScript in Browser Action.

Hopefully this will be enough to get you started. Good luck!
