Perhaps some thought should be given this.
I see both text fields when using both the lynx and links browsers (as provided by macports). In fact, dumping the html for the register page (curl https://trac.macports.org/auth/register/) doesn’t show any apparent use of javascript in the form itself: <form method="post" action="" > <table><tr><th><label for="id_email">Email:</label></th><td><input id="id_email" type="text" name="email" maxlength="255" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_password">Password:</label></th><td><input type="password" name="password" id="id_password" /></td></tr></table> <br> <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Register"> </form> as the above poster said, the form for https://trac.macports.org/auth/login/?next=/newticket is almost identical: <form method="post" action="" > <table><tr><th><label for="id_email">Email:</label></th><td><input id="id_email" type="text" name="email" maxlength="255" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_password">Password:</label></th><td><input type="password" name="password" id="id_password" /><input type="hidden" name="next" value="/newticket" id="id_next" /></td></tr></table> <br> <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Login"> </form> I was able to log in and view the new ticket form with my macports username/password in both the lynx and links browsers. -- Daniel J.
