In the page
https://mycampus.phoenix.edu/Login.asp?TargetURL=/secure/courselist.asp&Failed=No
Passowrd manager is unable to observe that a username and password are used. It
appers to ask for them in a standerdised format. This is the case in mozilla 1.4
also. I tested it with MS IE and it was able to catch the username/pass but no
other browser i tested was able to catch it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto
https://mycampus.phoenix.edu/Login.asp?TargetURL=/secure/courselist.asp&Failed=No
2. Try to login
3. no save password dialog will appear

Actual Results:  
no password will be saved

Expected Results:  
A Password manager dialog should ask if the password should be saved, or if
saved automaticly enter the username and password for this site.

The form has the attribute "autocomplete=off" on it.  This explicitly tells
Mozilla not to try to save password data from that form.

Shouldn't work in IE either, no idea why it would.  It's originally an IE attribute.
