Don't show the input masks for user and password of e-mail. I've tried with Mozilla 1.1 on Linux and on WindowsXP and the bug is on all the Operating Systems. The page is HTML but I don't know if the masks are CGI or something else. I hope you'll fix this problem and you'll be able to make Mozilla the best browser of internet.
Are you talking about the passwords-fields, where you input is replaced by asterisks ? (on this site, this doesn't happen with the usernames). That's actually mentioned in the HTNL 4.01 standard ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.4.1 ): > (password) Like "text", but the input text is rendered in such a way as to hide the characters (e.g., a series of asterisks). This control type is often used for sensitive input such as passwords. Note that the current value is the text entered by the user, not the text rendered by the user agent. I know that some people prefer it differently, but this feature is the reason why people are using the password-field. Otherwise they would be using regular text-fields. I recommend WONTFIX.
Thank Jo, I'll change it because i think it can be a problem in some other site, where there isn't 5 different pages to access to the mailbox. I like asterisk for my privacy! I don't know if the problem is in the text(username) and password fields or it is on the table or frame...
