Thanks for you input. I did see those posts, and to the best of my
ability, I tried to do what some of them said. The exact code I tried is
in my first email. That code was taken from the net.
Is that code far off? Without the line:
fLoginForm.getElement().setAttribute("onsubmit", "login();return
false;");
Chrome asks to save the PW but then puts their password on the URL line -
and doesn't seem to
execute GWT code properly anymore. I know I am just grasping at straws.
I am really surprised that there isn't a canned solution to this very
common problem.
Thanks.
