autocompletion does not work in browsers

autocompletion

I've created a login submit form in HTML but for some reason autocompletion does not work.

This is what happens in Firefox:
- I give username and password and click on the login button
- Firefox prompts me if I would like to remember the password. I press 'remember' and login works.
- I log out and return to the login page and insert my username. I am presented with a pulldown after having typed the first character (which means autocompletion works). But somehow the password field is never autocompleted.

Here's the code for this page:

<form name="login_form" id="login_form" autocomplete="ON" onsubmit="javascript:xajax_action_login(document.getElementById('user_name').value, document.getElementById('pass').value); return false;">
 <div class="login_line">
  <div class="login_line_left">name</div>
  <div id="user_name_id" class="login_line_right"><input size="16" maxlength="16" name="user_name" id="user_name" type="text"></div>
 </div> <!-- login_line -->
 <div class="login_line">
  <div class="login_line_left">password</div>
  <div id="password_id" class="login_line_right"><input size="16" maxlength="16" name="pass" id="pass" type="password"></div>
 </div> <!-- login_line -->
 <div class="login_line">
  <div class="login_line_left">&nbsp;</div>
  <div class="login_line_right"><input class="button" value="login" type="submit"></div>
 </div> <!-- login_line -->
</form> <!-- login_form -->

What is wrong with my code? How can I get autocompletion to work?

Thanks,
Jasper

i dont think that is your code. i think that is a FF browser issue.

check this: [support.mozilla.com...]

Your link directs to a firefox issue concerning cookies. I'm not using cookies at all.

But your suggestion that this is a FF issue is correct because I just tested this in IE and it worked.

I still have no clue why this doesn't work in FF.
