[ipac] HIP 3.0x and IE AutoComplete

If you can figure out what in the HTML prevents IE from doing this, odds 
are we can change it in the XSL to make IE autocomplete.

Has anyone gotten that to work in IE? [and yes...we realize that storing logins is not a good practice, but it is a feature that many patrons want to use on their own machines despite the risks.]
