G'Day,
Lastly, if you try a very basic html page without jQuery/jQuery Mobile, does it work?
cheers

the login page is just a header with a title (no buttons) a footer (with text) and one <form name=login method=POST> and input for email/password
don't know how to get simpler :/

Anyone actually figure this one out? We're currently having the same problem. We can get the browser to correctly cache data on Android phones, but not on iOS.

still nothing.
removing all the jquery part and leaving only the "meat" of my page makes the save password popup, so it's not field names not being detected.

this is tricky to trouble-shoot given that the issue doesn't occur anywhere other than the safari browser on the iPhone/iPad/iPod devices. I'm getting the issue in JQM 1.0a2 with JQ 1.4.4 - we've had to stick to these versions due to issues we've had with later versions with navigation/ajax. Having said that, I have the impression that JQM does interfere in some ways with the iOS safari browser's perception of the form and/or input controls. If I put on a vanilla form, I get prompted for remembering username/password - oh, in this I'm assuming the OP and others have ensured they have configured safari to remember username and passwords. Perhaps someone has time to try swapping in and out code fragments in the JQM library to see if they can pinpoint where the issue creeps in.

We worked around this issue by commenting out this bit of code:
- // XXX: Temporary workaround for issue 785. Turn off autocorrect and
- // autocomplete since the popup they use can't be dismissed by
- // the user. Note that we test for the presence of the feature
- // by looking for the autocorrect property on the input element.
- var textInputs = allControls.filter( "input[type=text]" );
- if (textInputs.length && typeof textInputs[0].autocorrect !== "undefined") {
- textInputs.each(function(){
- // Set the attribute instead of the property just in case there
- // is code that attempts to make modifications via HTML.
- this.setAttribute("autocorrect", "off");
- this.setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");
- });
- }
To workaround the browser bug that it is attempting to address (issue 785), we are explicitly adding the autocorrect="off" and autocomplete="off" attributes to our markup. Oddly, when those attributes are added via JavaScript, it messes up Safari's saving of username and password. However, when added directly to the mark-up, Safari saves the username and password correctly. Go figure ...
