[Greasemonkey] Login script, problem with international chars and privacy concerns

[Arvid Andersson]

Hello.

I am new to greasemonkey, I am trying to write a script that will 
automatically log in to a website that requires a username and a password. 
The password manager does not work on this site for som reason. I can enter 
data into the login fields with the following code:

  var username = document.getElementById("navbar_username");
  username.value = "sample_uname";
  var password = document.getElementsByName("vb_login_password");
  password[0].value = "sample_pword";

However, my username contains swedish characters and they become garbled if 
I enter them this way. I also tried replacing them with html code ("ö") 
but that did not work either. Is there a way to specify the character 
encoding for a userscript? Perhaps that would solve the problem.

A second concern is that the password is stored in plain text. I wonder if 
it is possible to use the firefox password manager from the script?

I appreciate any help. Arvid Andersson.
