[Laszlo-user] DHTML Runtime and Password Manager

[Tobias Wolf]

Hi all,

i would like to know your opinion.

We are designing a small application with OpenLazslo. It is our first 
Project with this framework and so far everything went fine. The 
learning curve is quite good ;)

Naturally our app has an login component. The common user is used to 
have an password manager, eg. the one built into his browser, to deal 
with his login name and his password. If we compile to flash this 
doesn't work, of course. Given we ability to compile to DHTML my idea 
was to split the application, compile the login component to DHTML and 
have the ability that password manager can deal with the login and after 
authentication present the user a fine flash app.

This was the thought, but the javascript that gets compiled builds the 
login fields out of DIVs, and so the password manager doesn't recognize 
the elements and does not jump in.

I know, the workaround is to build the login with normal HTML and embed 
the app. But i would like to concentrate GUI development on one platform 
and OL seems to be a very good choice.

First: Is this done on purpose to discourage the use of password managers?
Second: Is there a way to compile a Password Manager friendly DHTML 
component out of an LZX file?
Third: Is someone willing to change the compilation process for DHTML to 
something that supports for password managers? Since i cannot do it 
myself in a resonanle timeframe. Apart from not knowing if this is 
wanted at all. It is possible you are quite happy with the things as 
they are, which i could understand completely ;)

I am anxious to hear your opinions.

Kind regards,
