Question

I am trying to make the browser’s password manager remember the input from the ajax form generated with gwt.

My idea is to use a hidden standard static html form on the page, and let the browser use that one. However, now I have to make the form submit the data upon clicking my custom gwt login button.

I can get the form element using the getElementById() or similar methods, but can I somehow submit that form so the browser asks to save the user data?

jQuery can:

$("#formID").submit()

Upd. Raw JavaScript:

document.forms["formID"].submit();
