I have created a Javascript for open a new window for user login. I expected user should inupt their user and password everytime when they want to access to the page. However, I found the Windows in client side has recorded the user name and password that they no need to input them again. I would like to know how to force the user input its once they access to the page and delete the history for recorded the user name and password on client side.

 
If you expecting a user to enter a sensitive information on a Web page (such as user name/password), then you'd better use encryption (SSL). Once on a secure (https) page, Auto Complete feature will not work, so user names won't be "recorded".
 
Well... there's always the answer I gave you when you posted the same question two days ago thread216-648367
 
Actually, I have just activated the SSL utility. I found that the User ID field is still recorded the previous User ID, but the password has to be input now. How I can also set the User ID field force to be input by user or if there any parameter need to be set in HTML page or broswer.
 
Am I invisible or something? :)

As per the answer I gave you two days ago in Thread216-648367:

Set the [tt]AUTOCOMPLETE[/tt] attribute of the input boxes to "off".
 
Dear dwarfthrower,
First for all, thanks you for your information. May be I haven't clearly describe my situation. My login page is generated by one of Vendor software program, which is written by Delphi, the login page is dynamic generated from it. Thus, I cannot amend the HTML to switch off the autocomplete feature. What I can do is to add the SSL and control the pop-up browser in own web site ? Do you have any other solution ?

Thx again for your kind attention.
 
Well, you could certainly turn Autocomplete off at the browser level. But I'd be getting onto the vendors pretty sharply to fix their software.
 
Written "by Delphi"??? Who is "Delphi"???

Ahhhhhhhhh.... Written "in" Delphi...

(Sorry - yet another "I had to")

AtomicChip,
I see from your profile you have been a member for some time but haven't logged on many times.
There is the (maybe unwritten) rule that grammar and spelling errors are ignored, as to very many members English is NOT their first language and that having their minor errors corrected will put them off asking for assistance again.




Chris.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
 
ChrisHirst-

My apologies. I do know the (unwritten rule) and have overlooked many grammatical errors (namely my own ;)). At the time of posting, I was going on 22 hours straight coding c# and was just a wee bit loopy...
