Help! Need to clear login form onload - Mozilla no likey.

Posted April 5th, 2006, 9:32 am

I've tried applying a number of scripts that are suppose to clear input/password form fields onload, but for whatever reason these scripts dont' seem to work in Mozilla browsers. I've also checked the browser settings to make sure I have form data saving turned off. Can anyone help?

As a workaround you could perhaps introduce a delay to wait until FF has done it's stuff, and THEN clear it.

The following would add a half secod delay, (probably enough time for FF to have finished it's interferance).

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> <title>Whatever</title> <script language="javaScript"> function clearfields() { username.value=""; password.value=""; } </script> </head> <body onload="self.setTimeout('clearfields()', 500)"> <form method="post"> <input name="username" type="text" > <input name="password" type="password"> </form> </body> </html>

That did the trick. Delaying the javascript is key here. Thanks so much for your help!
