I've just started poking around the source of the Camino project, which (as other Mozilla projects may also have) has a feature to store usernames and passwords in the MacOSX keychain, for auto-fill-in forms.
However, this only works after the page has entirely loaded, I'm told because the Gecko engine can only signal the browser shell when the entire page has loaded, instead of sending a message when the form components are done. How feasible would it be to add such a "form-load-done" feature into Gecko? Since Gecko will render (partially) the entire page before graphics are completely loaded, this should decrease the user-interaction time with login windows and such considerably, if graphics are on the page (as they invariably are).
Granted, this would also (likely) require the browser shell to override any "form-resetting" commands in any OnLoad script that the page has attached. Can that be handled at the browser level, or would it have to be coded at the Gecko level also?
