Operas DS help

[andrewducker]

Now, not many of you will have Opera on the DS, but one of you technical wizkids might be able to help me out.

Opera DS doesn't save cookies when you shut it down. This means that I have to log back into LJ before reading my friends page, which is a pain, because entering usernames/passwords is slightly fiddly using the keyboard/pen combo. Not impossible, but I don't want to _have_ to do it if I can avoid it.

Is there any way of logging into LJ automatically that anyone can think of? Ideally I'd use the horribly insecure method of a URL that includes the user name and password, but I can't seem to find a way of doing that.

Any suggestions?

Addendum - I like the JS suggestion - anyone care to write me something? I don't know Javascript at all, but I can certainly rename a file to something unlikely, edit it to have my password it, and host it somewhere...

Ideally I'd use the horribly insecure method of a URL that includes the user name and password, but I can't seem to find a way of doing that.

That is because if there were such a url, you could embed it <img src="..."> on your friends page and force other people to log in.

Although, you could probably save a javascript bookmark that fills in the form and submits it.

Surely you could only do that if you knew their user name and password?

Javascript seems like the best idea. Want to write something for me?

Write a buggy and horrendously insecure script, host it on your webserver, and go to that instead? :). I don't think there's any way directly, that I know of, which must be very annoying...

For the javascript, if you are using this login page:
http://www.livejournal.com/login.bml
then save it as an html file, and edit it...
before the ending body tag, insert this:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var loginform = document.getElementById('login');
loginform.user.value = "yourlogin";
loginform.password.value = "yourpassword";
loginform.submit();
//-->
</script>

and on the form element, change the action parameter from login.bml to http://www.livejournal.com/login.bml

I have a few pages I've done that way so that I don't have to manually login to certain sites - but that's having the files on my own machine. I wouldn't trust putting them out on a server somewhere where anyone could get access to them.

If you leave out the password and submit lines, at least that way the userid field should be filled in for you, and you would only need to enter the rest.

It's up on a server now, with an unlikely file name, in an unlikely location. Which should be safe enough.
