1) is System.Gadget.Settings.write secure? would it be save to store login password?

2) this is the code i wrote to store the settings, but the value fail to save. did i do something wrong or less?

//the javascript portion
System.Gadget.Settings.write("username", user.value);
 
//the html portion
<input name="user" type="text" id="user">

See if this article helps. The documentation on the security aspect is a little sparse.

there is actually no error in the code, but with the poor documentation as usual from microsoft, i place the code on the wrong page. if anyone has prob with this issue, pls state there, i would be happy to email you the whole project.

Thanks for the offer, or if it's not too much of a problem, just attach it to your post.

sorry for the late reply.

this line:
System.Gadget.Settings.write("username", user.value);

should be written on the page that save the value and not the main page. a simple mistake made by a newbie like me.
