Duplicate functionality

If it's not a duplicate of Prepopulate, it would be good to have a comparison of the two modules.

Also possibly urlfill
So yeah, a clear explanation of the differences and the reason this is a separate project would be helpful.

Elementdefaults module has three significant advantages:

1. Simple and short syntax:

   you don't need to know form fields structure - you can use just filed names like:

   • field_cck_text=value or
   • body=value or
   • webform_date=value

   instead of:

   • edit[body_field][body]=value or
   • edit[field_office][0][node_name]=value

   in Prepopulate module.

2. Graceful syntax for multiple value form element:
   • field_cck_select=value1||value2^mode

   instead of

   • edit[field_office][0][node_name]=value1&edit[field_office][1][node_name]=value2

   in Prepopulate module.

3. Module support three modes:
   1. mode ^0 for hiding form element
   2. mode ^1 for convert form element to markup
   3. mode ^2 for disabling element

Please check the new version of this module. It has more abilities.
