I was originally going to implement this feature using pure php, but then decided to go with a pure javascript implementation, and glad I did. It's minimally invasive, since the code that does the work is isolated in a js file. I have included all you need to get a "Remember my login" check box on your login screen. If the INSTALL file is hard to follow, sorry, I have a horrible cold today! Just email me and I gladly help will help. I checked out the trunk today, from which this code was written for, but it will probably work on many older versions. There is some robustness and verbosity in the javascript, if you click save with no user name entered a error will be presented to the user. It requires no submit to save the cookie, the instant the check box is checked it will store a cookie, likewise once its unchecked the cookie is deleted. I tested it on Firefox 2.0 only, although it should work on all javascript enabled browsers.
