Can it be changed so that it remembers both my userid and password, or just my password? I usually remember who I am!
This is certainly true. Unfortunately, Microsoft has made it so that anyone with a modicum of javascript skills can read *all* your cookies (if you use IE on Windows):

I went there, clicked on the buttons, and got DNS errors.
Now, there may not be hugely deletrious effects resulting from this, but until cookies are handled in a sane manner, it's probably inappropriate for us to be putting the password there.
Well, you only have to save one half of a pair. I would prefer you save the password. The username I can remember :-)
If you're using IE 5 or Mozilla (NS 6) you can always tell it to remember what you've entered into the password field.
Doesn't offer to save it for me on IE5. If it did, I wouldn't be asking. - -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.php Powered by Interbase and Zope -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 iQA/AwUBOSjvJ7TRdIWzaLpMEQLrpQCfZlQdZL7324hKZyuf9qIURHPvpUEAn00B HZkzbNpdbEWRpfNRXms34cVw =WSqE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
