I use ztInputHint jQuery plugin with default settings (use title tag in input field) to fill the input fields with a pre-set text. My problem: the Firefox password manager saves the password field's title as username value. When I turned off the jQuery plugin everything works well. How can i fix this issue? I know about the placeholder attribute but that is not as the same.

It looks like the google code version of the plugin uses the title by default: https://code.google.com/p/ztinputhint/

However if its not compatible with Firefox, it may not work properly.

Does that field has a type="password" or type="text" attribute?

The Firefox password manager saves the password field (type="password") and uses the field with type="text" that appears in the DOM just before that password field as the user name.

Username has a type="text" attribute, and password field's type is password. And username is before the password field. If i disable the plugin. FF saves username and password correctly, but with enabled plugin it saves the password's title as username. I tried to change name attribute to username and password only but nothing changed.
