Lightbox login
Johan had this idea: To use the trendy lightbox DOM effect to display a login dialog box with super-large input fields. This particular implementation is based on the Yahoo! User Interface Library, and this demo from thinkvitamin.com. It should work across modern browsers. Old browsers are served a regular link to a login page. No server-side workings here, a regular 'view source' should answer your questions.
A possible improvement would be to check the login credentials via xmlhttprequest inside the lightbox form, and display eventual error messages right there. A 'forgot password?'-link should also be present in the dialog box.
