Web browsers don't display the save password box when using AJAX

[mesh2005]

I built a login form that posts data back to the server using AJAX. The form has a button not a submit button. Browsers don't display the save password dialog box when I click the login button. Is there anyway to instruct the browser to save the password? It works correctly if I change the login from AJAX to the usual POST.

The reason why it does not prompt it is because the browser needs the page to phyiscally to refresh back to the server. A little trick you can do is to perform two actions with the form. First action is onsubmit have it call your Ajax code. Also have the form target a hidden iframe.

<iframe src="ablankpage.htm" id="temp" name="temp" style="display:none"></iframe>
<form target="temp" onsubmit="yourAjaxCall();">

See if that causes the prompt to appear.
