password autocomplete

[Christopher Bland]

Russel,

I added to my login page because I was concerned about labs and open 
pcs.  If you start typing you username on the login page is gives you 
login id of a previous user.

<form action="<%=request.getAttribute("actionUrl")%>" method="post" 
autocomplete="off">
