Hi Marius,
I'm not sure how the browsers handles their "save username and
password"-functionality.
But it might be, that the browser needs the name and/or id attribute on the
input fields.
You can set them manually, have a look at the following example (runs in
playground):
var userField = new qx.ui.form.TextField();
var passwordField = new qx.ui.form.TextField();
var doc = this.getRoot();
doc.add(userField, {left : 100, top : 50});
doc.add(passwordField, {left : 100, top : 80});
userField.addListener("appear", function(e) {
var domElement = this.getContentElement().getDomElement();
domElement.name = "user";
domElement.id = "user";
}, userField);
passwordField.addListener("appear", function(e) {
var domElement = this.getContentElement().getDomElement();
domElement.name = "password";
domElement.id = "password";
}, passwordField);
Another workaround would be to use a HTML login page within a IFrame, that's
placed inside your qooxdoo application. But then it would be hard to get the
qooxdoo look and feel for this HTML login page and the fields.
Regards,
Andreas
