140592 - Auto fill overwrites specified value

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112260

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Alex Hulse]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

BuildID:    2002041711

This is related to bug 87421. When the form element's name matches that of an
earlier form (see source of second page of example) the auto fill completes the
form, ignoring the specified value of the page. This happens even if the form's
name is different to the first's (see source.) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill in first form of example, allow moz to remember it
2. Observe that login used previously is filled in as the first page's value,
even though the page specified another value for the text field and the form's
name is different.


Actual Results:  The value="whatever" is ignored.

Expected Results:  value="" should have been used, as the forms are totally
different, they just happen to have similar element names
