Enhancing user experience with Ajax login forms that seamlessly integrate with browser password remember functionality

I recently implemented an ajax-based login form on my website, but it seems that browsers are not recognizing it as a login form and therefore not offering to remember passwords for easier login access.

Once the submit button is clicked, the entered values are sent to the server for verification. If the check is successful, a response is sent back, setting a session before redirecting the user to the members area using JavaScript. I suspect that the issue may lie in the simplicity of the HTML code.

HTML:

<input type='text' class='email'>
<input type='password' class='password'>
<a class='submitBtn'>SUBMIT</a>

Appreciate any insights or suggestions!

Answer №1

I have a different approach in mind.

Instead of using traditional AJAX, I plan to utilize a form submission to a hidden iframe. This way, the window will act like an ajax post without refreshing and the password remember feature will still function.

Here is an example:

    <form method="post" id="" action="checkDetail.php" target="myIframe">

        <input type='text' class='email'>
        <input type='password' class='password'>
        <input type="submit" name="" value="" id="Submit"/>
    </form>
    <iframe name="myIframe" id="myIframe"></iframe>

To make this work, you need to make some adjustments to your response code to inform the parent iframe about the submit result.

Update:

The browser automatically handles this process. When a form specifies a 'target' attribute that matches the name attribute of an iframe on the page, the form action will be submitted to the iframe.

So, when your request is successful, the response will be displayed within the iframe content. You can include code like this in your response:

<?php
// PHP code to check database goes here
?>

<script>
    parent.formSuccess({
        // Your response information
    });
</script>

Additionally, you should define a formSuccess method on the outer page to handle the submit callback.

Discovered answer on stack : How can I get browser to prompt to save password?

My Modified Approach:

<form id='loginForm' target="passwordIframe" method='POST' action="blank.php">
<input name='email' type='text' st='Email'>
<input name='pass' type='password' st='Password'>
<button type='submit'>LOGIN</button>    
</form>
<iframe id="passwordIframe" name="passwordIframe" style='display:none'></iframe>

I have verified that this method activates the password remember feature for Chrome (other browsers still need testing). It is crucial that the action attribute is directed to a blank.php. I opted for an empty php page and echoed the $_POST array to ensure that the values were successfully submitted through the form.

Next, I plan to incorporate this into my existing code which relies on JavaScript to extract field values and validate them via an ajax call. I am curious if it's possible to eliminate the submit button entirely and solely rely on JavaScript to submit the form instead?
