Hello all, If you have a few minutes to spare, please test the new header's log in box with your browser's "remember password" function (and JavaScript) enabled by following the steps below.
Log in, let the browser remember the password (if you have already set it to be remembered, please clear it from your browser's remembered passwords list), and log back out again. Then click the Log in button again to show the login form's input fields. Do you see your username and password filled in by the browser, or do you only see the strings "username" and "password"? If you see your username and password, then everything's working as it should. If not, please clear the OOo password from your browser's saved passwords list, and try the same thing on test.OOo. Does it work now? Please add your results to this discussion along with the name and version of your browser. The problem/issue is that there isn't enough room in the expanding log in box to have the labels 'username' and 'password' without making the font sizes smaller and without making the expanding box overlap the search section of the header or becoming too wide. The easiest solution is to populate the username and password input boxes with 'username' and 'password' (respectively) to inform the user about their function. However, as Drew's earlier email noted, this can stop the browser's 'Remember Me' functionality. I think I have come up with a solution that works - in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. I tried it in IE6 and Safari, but their autofill functions didn't work in either case. Essentially, the latest solution works like this: If the username and password text boxes are empty, JavaScript will fill them in with 'username' and 'password', set the focus to the username field and select all the text inside. If I fill it in with my login details, I still get prompted about having my password remembered (tested with Firefox, Chrome and Opera's wand feature). Then if I log out and click log in again, the fields are filled in with the remembered data. In this case, JavaScript will notice that these fields are not empty. It won't fill them in with the strings 'username' and 'password', but will automatically set focus on the Login button. Thanks, Ivan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
