The only way i can check my pop mail on www.campusi.com is if i put my username
in, tab down, enter my password, and then press the enter key.  If I tab down to
the "Check My Mail" button, it clears out the password.  The same happens if I
use my mouse to click it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the site
2. Put in username and password
3. Tab down or click "Check My Mail"

Actual Results:  
The password clears out

Expected Results:  
The password should stay in and let me click the button.

This can be also reproduced using latest SeaMonkey Gecko/20030527 => should be
filed against Product "Browser" after checking for possible dupes and inspecting
the coding of the page...

Here's why:

The BODY tag contains onFocus="pgFocused()"

pgFocused contains:

function pgFocused() {

	var     f = document.form_email;
	var	f2 = document.form_srch;

	f.pswd.value	= '';

	f2.creditCardPref.selectedIndex	= 0;

	if (trim(f.emailAddr.value) == '' && trim(f2.srchTxt.value) == '') {
		f.emailAddr.focus();
	}
}

f.pswd is the password field.

So when you tab out of the password field:
1) The body receives focus
2) pgFocused() fires and erases the password field

As I understand it, this is correct behavior so I am marking this a Tech Evang
bug.  Anyone who disagrees, please reassign.
