Hi...

Looking at the KDE sources, I wonder how and especially where to implement a 
Mozilla-like password manager. I can see two possibilities:
- do it in konqueror. When the html view is used the DOM interfaces are used 
to scan all forms and to restore their values. When the form is submitted 
konqueror must somehow intercept this and store the values of the submitted 
form. I couldn't find out whether it is possible to set a "onSubmit" event 
handler with the C++ DOM interface, is this currently possible? And do I see 
it correctly that there is currently no dependency at all between khtml and 
konqueror (no special code in konq only for khtml pages)?
The advantage of this solution is that it keeps "higher-level" functionality 
out of khtml. The disadvantage is that it is the first (??) case where there 
is special code for handling HTML pages in Konqueror. Intuitively I would 
prefer this solution.
- do it in khtml. The implementation would be similar, but completely inside 
khtml.

Which would be the right way (and, should I write the patch, have a chance of 
making it into CVS)?

bye...
