For Safari there's a third-party utility "Autocomplete Always On" that makes it ignore what these sites say. I found a bookmarklet for Firefox that's supposed to do something similar (sorry, don't remember its name), but it didn't seem to work for me. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***

Thanks. That will be useful. > I found a bookmarklet for Firefox that's supposed to do something > similar (sorry, don't remember its name), but it didn't seem to work for > me. Oddly enough, it's "Autocomplete Always On": <http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36242> -- D.F. Manno dfmanno(a)mail.com "I want my country forward." (Bill Maher)

I figured out that not only do you have to use it when you first visit the page and you're entering your password, but you have to use it again when you go back. It's a Javascript that goes through the current page and removes all the "autocomplete=off" attributes, so it has to be used any time you visit the page. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** |
