Firefox and Chrome Autocomplete Login Forms
Hi I'm building an App, which dynamicall builds a Widget where you can log in. I'm using 2 TextBoxes, a login-username and a password-box in a FormPanel in a PopupPanel. On the onSubmit-Event I make an AJAX-Request to log the user in. I didn't succeed in triggering the Autofill-Ability of Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know what preconditions have to be set to trigger this. I gave the textboxes a name and an id, but it still doesn't work... Does the Autofill-Ability only work on HTML-Pages? Any Ideas? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: Firefox and Chrome Autocomplete Login Forms
Hi Spike, I was pondering the exact same thing the other day. From all the experiments I made, only FF was able to somewhat reliably remember passwords. My understanding is that you need a structure with a form, a login textfield, a password textfield and a submit button: form action=... input type=text input type=password input type=submit /form There _has_ to be a form that submits to the server, otherwise browsers won't recognise this as a login form. To make things worse, the login form has to be there in HTML in the page loaded from the beginning. My attempts to create it in runtime via DOM manipulation made it invisible to the password completion mechanism. I'd advise you to use a completely decoupled login form and load your application only after the login page.

Re: Firefox and Chrome Autocomplete Login Forms
Sadly not an option Login is optionally in my app, you can, but you don't have to. If I use an IFrame, I can't access the Information generated in there. I could have used the User-Capability of Google App, but I did't exactly for that reason. I hate these Worarounds.

Re: Firefox and Chrome Autocomplete Login Forms
Ok, how about this: A user works, anonymously ( = not logged in ) with your application. At some point he decides (or the application decides) that he wants to log in. You navigate him to the (non GWT) login page, he does the login and you reload the application. You can tell your application that the user is logged in either by putting that information into a hidden div in the module page which your app can query then. Or your app can simply test for the existence of a cookie (i.e. jsessionid).
