Internet Explorer Autocomplete problem

[Christian Swoboda <e9...@student.tuwien.ac.at>]

Hi!

We are developing a new application with myfaces 1.1.5 and discovered
that there's a problem with Internet Explorer's autocomplete (Intelliforms)
feature. The text input fields do not "remember" their values, i. e. 
Autocomplete does not work.

I found the following MS support article 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329156/en-us
which declares that there's an Internet Explorer Bug ;-) when using 
scripts to submit forms.

They offered the following "workaround":
---
function subForm()
{
window.external.AutoCompleteSaveForm(f1);
f1.submit();
}
---

Could/should this be added to oamSubmitForm() ?
If yes, how?

Thanks!
  Chris

P.S.: Switching to another browser is unfortunately not an option ;-(

Hi Christian,

please file an issue, that we keep at least track of this problem.
Perhaps the work around should only be done, when the app actually runs in IE.

Greetings,
Matthias
