That's a bit complicated, you'll need to do some C++ programming.

You can get the nsIDOMEvent* out of the EphyEmbedEvent, then get the
event target from it, QI it to nsIDOMHTMLInputElement* or so, and do the
deed.

If you need more details, try looking at Epiphany or Epiphany Extensions
mozilla interaction code, or drop by on #epiphany :)
