Login Screen

rbur

Is there a way to "tweak" the login screen so that a user can just hit "Enter" after entering password and not have to use the mouse to click on "Login" ??

I know it's a trivial request, but it's so aggravating

i was looking at the same... i am interested in adding a custom logo (maybe moving the CollectiveAccess credits and info as footer to the login panel)

for now i am tweaking the file app/views/system/login_html.php

which is the view of the login page..

i created a custom theme (i duplicated the "default" directory.. so to not touch the original version, and have my own theme!

Ron, there is quite a simple answer. If you've just keyed the password, press Tab and then Enter. This should work in all browsers, as the Login field is the next logical HTML element after the password input field.

Sure, a native HTML form will work without tabbing to the submit button, but this login panel is evidently using client-side scripting which is not catering for a non-focused Enter.

I can't say I really noticed this before and it's the first time anyone has complained about it, but I do see your point.

I just committed a change (SVN r4137) that should fix this. At least it does with FireFox 3.6. I also tested with Safari 4.0 which has always supported login-on-return and continues to do so with this patch.

Could someone give it a try with IE7 and IE8 and verify that it works? It's late and I'm feeling a little lazy.

Tested with IE8 at r4137.... script error (present already at page load): 'caUI.utils' is null or not an object login Line:22

Confirmed that it works OK in Firefox (3.6.2) here also.

Thanks Dave. Just put fixes for IE8 in SVN (r4146). Seems to work fine now on Firefox 3.6, Safari 4 and IE8. Still need to test on IE7.

Just a simple "Tab" tap can resolve all this. No script needed.?
