This is an example of how to make browsers | |
offer to remember password and later fill in those passwords | |
for dynamic login forms. | |
To make the browser offer to remember passwords the form should be actually submitted. | |
Since we are handling login with AJAX we don't want the form to submit, so we are still submitting it | |
into a dummmy iframe with dummy URL. | |
It's good idea to actually create empty dummy.html file, otherwise you'll flood you error.log with 404s | |
To make the browser fill in/suggest login/password the login/password fields | |
should be loaded with the page, so we create a hidden form with login/password fields and later replace parts of | |
dynamically loaded login form with these fields. | |
