WebOPAC--Logging In--Remembering the Barcode

["Cipparrone, Polly" <Polly dot Cipparrone at sdcounty dot ca dot gov>]

Hi!

I've checked the IUG archives, but didn't find this particular topic.  I'm hoping someone might have come across this issue.

We migrated to III late this past summer (from DRA Classic).  One feature that customers have frequently requested for the III WebOPAC is the ability for the "My Library Login" and "Request Verification" pages to "remember" the customer's barcode, so they don't have to type in the whole library account number the first time they login.

I've been told that customers can set this functionality in the browser itself.  However, I'm wondering if there is still something that needs to be changed in the WebOPAC because (as an example)  on our staff PCs (at on my home PC) other web sites allow this functionality already--it's nothing that we've needed to change.

Has anyone made such an adjustment to the WebOPAC to allow this?  If so, how did you do this?  

Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful!!

Thank you!
