Dude, check it out. Type your stuff then tab out, or click anywhere outside the password box.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
You mean hit "enter", not "tab out", don't you?
I know what she's talking about. On WX, you can put the pointer in the "name" box, type your name, then tab, then password, then tab, and it'll log you in. Here, you need to press return at the end of that sequence.

It's just-- tab! I have no idea how it worked, because I don't know anything about that sort of thing, but it made me ridiculously giddy every time I used it. It was so cute.
t rereads last few posts I am such a loser.

I stand corrected! I looked at the code and it's not too hard to do, but it uses JavaScript. Basically it says, if you're in the password window and leave it (this uses the OnBlur method), AND the username field is not blank, then submit the form.
t edit Actually, it checks that both the username and password are both non-blank.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Actually, no. There is JS to put your cursor in the name field on the login screen.
And thanks for that. I suggested it at Salon, since other sites were doing it, even offered the exact code to cut and paste the second time I suggested (several months later), and they brushed me off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I may be a minion of the evil empire, but I do like MSW's wordcount feature.
MSW isn't my browser.
Please, let's not make tab emulate hitting the submit button. Enter shouldn't even emulate it on forms with more than one field.

I meant, Word. You don't have any wordcount-having word-processing application on your computer?

Yeah, but it still isn't my browser.

All right then; I thought you meant you didn't like counting them by hand.
I know people who do that....

By hand, or by starting another memory heavy application to paste and check, and ...
It's a tagline change. Expecting or encouraging the user to fire up a word processor for that is terrible system design.
