Remember password

Hi,

when I create a simple login page with a password type input field, Firefox
does not ask me to remember the passwords. What is needed for this to happen
?

You need to check "Remember passwords for sites" in the options for *your*
copy of firefox.

Probably because it is not a valid form. The required "action" attribute is
missing. I would imagine the browser would use the contents of the action
attribute, along with the URL of the page, as a key to the saved pasword. No
action, no save. More to the point, no action, no *need* to save since that
form is not going anywhere.

As the specification state about action: "User agent behaviour for a value
other than an HTTP URI is undefined".
