Hello Jerome, Stefan I'm working on a solution like this for our system with a procedure similar to this one:
http://www.peej.co.uk/articles/rich-user-experience.html Works like a charm on IE (8 and 7), works rather fine on Firefox (if you input bad credentials, the browser presents the 'ugly' login popup), didn't try on other browsers. If I can polish my code in a way that works fine in all major browsers (at least IE, FF and Safari), without external dependencies (read: pure Javascript), I'll share it with you with pleasure (The system I'm developing is OpenSource anyway ;)). This is a badly needed use case for developers of web apps (read: with a UI), so we may find a way to integrate a proven solution to the already excellent Restlet framework.
