It seems that finaly we can discuss it; good! Users might want to paste their password when logging in through an HTML form. Unfortunately if instead of the target box, user selects the background by mistake, her password is sent automaticaly to google. It is too easy to select the background by mistake, given that the password box is small, and the background is huge. You just click a few pixels away, and your password is seen by everyone between you and google. It happened me a few times, and it seems I'm not the only one. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
