How can I get browser to prompt to save password?

Question

Hey, I\'m working on a web app that has a login dialog that works like this:

1. User clicks \"login\"
2. Login form HTML is loaded with AJAX and displayed i

Answer 1

I had similar problem, login was done with ajax, but browsers (firefox, chrome, safari and IE 7-10) would not offer to save password if form (#loginForm) is submitted with ajax.

As a SOLUTION I have added hidden submit input (#loginFormHiddenSubmit) to form that was submitted by ajax and after ajax call would return success I would trigger a click to hidden submit input. The page any way needed to refreshed. The click can be triggered with:

jQuery('#loginFormHiddenSubmit').click();

Reason why I have added hidden submit button is because:

jQuery('#loginForm').submit();

would not offer to save password in IE (although it has worked in other browsers).
