hi,

this is a simple HTML file that will display a form with LOGIN-NAME AND PASSWORD Field...

Use Action Attribute of the form to specify the ph file name to which this shud pass data... and the http method of passing data...use post since u r dealing with password...

<form......action="abc.php" method=post>

in the abc.php file, u cud validate the data...

regs,
