Glad to see that I not forget everything as my last web scripting was about 10 years ago :) The site rules not allow multiple questions in one topic, so you can open new topic if you like, and probably will get better reply, but my short reply is - just find an html element that's available on that page only when you logged-in and check for existence of that element, and to start login only if needs. – Panayot Karabakalov Jan 08 '13 at 20:17
As for doing so in Google Chrome, you can't without automation extensions. See this thread [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/87911/tool-framework-for-automated-web-app-testing-in-google-chrome-browser), or just google for "google chrome browser automation". – Panayot Karabakalov Jan 08 '13 at 20:18

If you look at the page source, you'll see that the actual <form> tag is called frmLogin, not login.
