Automatic fill in Problem with Firefox
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 5:21 am
I got a problem, that came up with the new Firefox 3.
I got several projects, wehre people can login with an id or a nickname. They cannot change the id but I do allow to change a nickname that might be easier for them to remember. This function requires the password of the user to change the nickname to avoid collegues that use a break of the user to change stuff on their computer. It worked like a charm until Firefox 3 an its agressive password fill in function.
Now no matter what I do it fills in the password if I choose the correct current nickname. Even if I rename the fields it seems it just takes the next password field and puts the correct password in. Even if I prefill the pw field it is overwritten by the autofill in
This of course defeats the purpuse completely. Any ideas or solutions out there to block that function?
