They have to manually clear the field, THEN OK, then they get prompted AGAIN, THEN they hit cancel. That's nuts, and my users aren't going to understand that. > Why do they need to be able to log out? If the user doesn't want their password saved (e.g. they're on a public PC) then they just uncheck the "Save password" box when logging in, and then they can close the browser and be "logged out". If they want their password saved then they can check the "Save password" box and not worry. It sounds to me like you're trying to implement something that no users are actually going to need or want... However, if you want more control over the authentication process I suggest making your own login form and using cookies, instead of HTTP authentication. Then you can log users out just by unsetting the cookie(s). Cheers Simon Garner
