Save passwords doesn't like Lycos - can I force it to save?

Hi, I'm trying to get IE6 on WinXP to save passwords at
http://mobile.lycos.co.uk but it doesn't seem to like their login page. Is
there any way to force it to save the password on a specific site if it
doesn't automatically recognise it?

Thanks in advance.

PS: The full URL is
http://mobile.lycos.co.uk/mobile/message_center/message_center.jsp

Any ideas?

Are you navigating to that URL or just picking it up from a Favorite?
Are you already logged on to Lycos when you do that?

For example, when I navigate from the Home page (not a Lycos user)
by clicking on: Home, Message, Mobile, Message Centre
I get here:

http://sms.lycos.co.uk/mobile/perso...url=/mobile/message_center/message_center.jsp

Notice the different server name (sms versus mobile).
They both have the same IP address.

The implication is that you might be bypassing some necessary
setup (e.g. Cookies) which could be the cause of your symptom.

Thanks Robert, but are you saying that for you it DOES offer to save the
password when you get to the link you gave? For me it does not, so if it
does for you then I can narrow the problem.

Thanks in advance.

I was only suggesting you verify the URL because Cookies
often play a part in preserving or inhibiting AutoComplete use
of username and password data.

FWIW when I try with &membername=test&password=test
the fields are not treated as AutoComplete input fields.

As a guess I'd say that this coding in the page might be
responsible for inhibiting that:

<input name="password" type="password" class="inputborder" onkeypress="maybeSubmit(document.login, event)"/>
