[Bug 155459] Re: login hotmail.com

[Matthew Koyle]

I don't believe this is a bug.  If I understand the complaint correctly,
at least some users above are complaining that hotmail will not remember
their username/password like most other sites.

The problem is that hotmail has disabled autocomplete for the login
page.  See http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/07/16/firefox-dont-
remember-yahoo-mail-and-hotmail-password/

Raymond posted a snippet of javascript code which will re-enable
autocomplete on the page:

javascript:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function
n(i,what){return i+"
"+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed
autocomplete=off from "+n(ca,"form")+" and from "+n(cea,"form
element")+", and removed onsubmit from "+n(cs,"form")+". After you type
your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember
your password.")})();
