How can the ID auto complete be removed in the login page?

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph

Description:
In all versions, when a user fills out the ID number on the login page, the Web OPAC automatically tries to complete the text. For example, if on a specific computer a user already entered id "123456789", then when next user comes, if he types "123" then a small window will open under the field with the full ID number, so the user can choose it. Can this removed in ALEPH?

Resolution:
This is controlled by the browser definitions. It can be controlled via the "internet options" of the browser.
For example, if using Microsoft Explorer, do the following:

1. In the internet explorer menue click on tools > internet options > content > personal information > auto complete >
2. You will see there a section entitled "use complete for". In this section choose options for which you would like to use "auto complete"

You may also change the xml file login in www_f_eng so that the username and password you enter are displayed as points.

To turn the username text to points, add this line: <input type=password to this section:

<td class=td2 nowrap>User ID/ Barcode:</td>
<td class=td2>
<input type=password
<input size=21
maxlength=20
name=bor_id
value="$0200">

To turn the password into points, change the line: <input type=password in this section:

<td class=td2> Verification:</td>
<td class=td2>
<input type=password
size=21
maxlength=20
name=bor_verification
value="">
