User ID dropdown menu shows up on all input fields?
Now here's something really weird!
All my input fields ie in the search form,add a record etc all diplay the users drop down list when you double click in the input field?

In db.cgi the field is formatted as;

'Userid' => [20, 'alpha', 10, 10, 1, '', ''],

and another place it could be messed is in the sub html_record_form in the html.pl

There I have;

if ($per_admin) { print qq|
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="middle" WIDTH="40%" bgcolor="#C0C4C8"><b><$font_color>User
ID:</FONT></b></TD>
<TD VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="60%" bgcolor="#E0E0E0">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Userid" SIZE="10" VALUE="$rec{'Userid'}" MAXLENGTH="10">
</TD>
</TR>
|; } else { print qq|
<input type="hidden" NAME="Userid" VALUE="$rec{'Userid'}">
|;

The last place I've found could be in the sub html_login_form where I have:

<form action="$db_script_url" method="post" name="form1">
<input type=hidden name="db" value="$db_setup">
<input type=hidden name="uid" value="$db_uid">
<table border=0>
<tr><td><Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#000033><b>User ID:</b></FONT></td>
<td><input type="TEXT" name="userid"></td></tr>
<tr><td><Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#000030><b>Password:</b></FONT></td>
<td><input type="PASSWORD" name="pw"></td></tr>
</table>
<center>
<input type="SUBMIT" name="login" value="Logon">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="logoff" VALUE="Cancel">
</center>


Any suggestions to get rid of this problem will be greatly apreciated. Actually I dont want the dropdown menu to appear in the User ID field when logging in either.

Well waddya know, youre right donm its Bills fault! When you have the Auto Complete option turned on in IE5 it creates the drop down menu in input fields.
I'm glad to hear no one else saw it!

The Ie5 Auto Complete can be found in the Tools menu under the Content tab.

The nice thing about it is I dont have to remember my password when logging in as admin!

Thanks

In the code you posted I don't see a drop down list implemented?

Are you using IE 5? Have you tried looking at this using Netscape?

IE 5 has an "auto fill in field" feature that can be turned on or off - maybe this is what you are seeing?

I took a look at your site and do not see the drop downs using IE 5? Maybe I am missing what you are asking here?

BTW - nice site.... the boats are beautiful !

HJ,

I don't see what you are talking about. Could you provide a URL to the form or page that is causing the problem??

Thanks.
