I haven't looked at the page in question; I was just questioning whether
it actually fits the situation you were talking about.
Incidentally, I hate it when pages do that - especially on a login page.
Being on dialup at home, I'm often already typing in the password by the
time the page finishes loading, so half my password ends up in the
username field.
