I'm trying to run javascript in a browser extension to automate a process 
of filling in a form on a website and then clicking a button -- the 
extension code can be simulated by typing javascript:code into the address 
bar.

The website that I'm having problems with uses angularJS. I have the names 
of the input field ids and am using those to change the input field values. 
The fields fill up but when I click the button it says they are not filled, 
there are no values and they are all in error. Some validation is going on 
that does not "see" my javascript changes unless I type in the values 
manually.


Is there a simple way to change the value of the AngularJS input fields 
that have validation using just the id of the input field.



Here is the code that's causing me problems from the webpage. When the 
extension is running I will not have access to the source code so I can 
only do "javascript" types of things.


<input id="shippingAddr-first-name" type="text" class="first-name ng-pristine 
ng-valid" maxlength="16" data-ng-model="addressTypes[addressType].FirstName" 
focus-me="commonAddressTypeProps[addressType].focusOnFirstName" 
client-validation="onExit" data-required-on-exit="">


My attempts using 

document.getElementById("shippingAddr-first-name").value="Dave";  change 
the field but do not register correctly during the form submission. 


It does work however if I type it in manually with the mouse and keyboard.


I've also tried click(),blur(),focus(), to simulate some things I might be 
doing manually but those do not work either.


Is there a way to change an input value using javascript when the code is 
running angularJS?
