Indeed this seems to be a large part of it. We use Firefox on all
workstations, and despite ticking the checkbox in
options->privacy->saved form information to save form info entered into
web pages, it does not work.
However MS IE *does* remember the same data entered into the same pages.

Not sure what you mean by this, unless you are referring to the security
settings in MS IE - but we aren't having problems with that, only
Firefox.

It is just http.

Done as mentioned above. MS IE works fine, Firefox (preferred by me)
does not :-(

I don't know what you mean by 'page source' - do you mean the actual
..php code? Or the httpd server config files?
Thanks.
