Hi Alex,
thank you for your help. "autocompletion" did change the behavior!
It is much easier when you know the name of a feature ;)
I now added both attributes ("name" _and_ "autocompletion"; just in case) and
see that the browser is displaying a list of last entered values.
So I think I don't need any "form" element wrapping the inputs.
Some strange behavior still exists, but I have to evaluate whether this is
normal browser behavior or not. (The login names 'foo', 'bar', 'john' etc. will
be displayed for "autocompletion", while 'Administrator' isn't....strange :-/ )
Thanks again for your support,
Peter
