Change email address for autofill in Safari

Hi guys,

I really love the autofill feature in Safari but this is driving me nuts:

in my address book card I have several email addresses. For the autofill feature Safari always uses my podcast address labelled "other". I definitely don't want that to be my standard address but the one labelled "home". How on earth can I tell Safari/Address Book to use this one? I already tried changing the order - no success.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

To change the email address that autofill uses while in Safari click on Safari>Preferences>AutoFill. Make sure the box is check next to "Using info from my Address Book card" then click edit to the right of that. Your Address Book card wil open and have check boxes to the right of you info. Check the items you want to use for autofill.

Hope this helps.
