Hi all,

I've got a small program (written in perl, though I doubt that
matters) that you need to log into. The two fields for login are
'login_email' (input type="text") and 'login_password' (input
type="password").

A user can then go to another form and edit their account
information. If the logged in user is an admin, they can edit other
user's info. In either case, there is a place where the user can change
the account password (form fields are named 'new_password_1' and
'new_password_2', both input type="password"). Also, at the end of the
form is a password field called 'usr_password' which is where the logged
in user must enter *their* current password to confirm the changes.

Everytime this triggers Firefox to bring up the "Confirm Password
Change" dialog box, regardless of whetherthe new password fields are
filled (which leads me to think it's the last field).

So my question;

How does Firefox determine that it should fire up this dialog box?
More specifically, how can I modify my form to *prevent* this behavior?

It would be ideal if I could make the form smart enough to trigger
the password change field *if* the user is editing their own account
*and* those two fields (new_password_1 and new_password_2) where filled,
but that is less of a concern.

Thanks!!

Madi
