Firefox ... remember password

For some reason in firefox when you tell it to remember a password, everytime you come to the site, it already has dots in the password field, even though a username has not been selected. No matter which user you choose from the drop down, it keeps that password unless you clear it and re-type.

Any way to correct that, so it does not show any password being typed, but if you chose to remember your password, it inputs it once you chose your login?

I'm not sure how FF does it, but I'd have to guess that either it doesn't bother to look for an account or username field or it only cares about text fields. In the latter case, you could try replacing the dropdown with a plain text input.

In userLogin.asp, change this:

<td><strong>Username:</strong></td>
<td>
<select id="username" name="username" class="<% = StyleFormField("", "username") %>">
<option value=""></option>
<% 'Create a drop-down list of user names.
dim users, i
users = GetUserList(false) %>
<% for i = 0 to UBound(users) %>
<option value="<% = users(i) %>" <% if users(i) = username then Response.Write(" selected=""selected""") end if %>><% = users(i) %></option>
<% next %>
</select>
</td>

with this:

<td><strong>Username:</strong></td>
<td>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" class="<% = StyleFormField("", "username") %>" value="<% = username %>" />
</td>
