tough question

[alfoxy]

If i have a folder which is protected by a normal username and password. You know the way the please type in your details window pops up .... http://cp.logicimage.com (for example ).... would it be possible to have a form on my web page that takes in these details and links directly to the correct page ?
I dont know if this is possible so any help or advice would be great

that would do it:

<form method="post" action="http://username:[e-mail]/dir/file.php">
<input type="text" name="txt">
[...]
</form>

Does not look very nice, but it works.
hope it helped

at least http://username:[e-mail]/dir/ passes (if username and password are correct), the htaccess protection on the directory "dir".

Try and please post if it worked the way you wanted it to, because my first reply looks kind of wrong to me, but i never tried.

yes the
http://username:[e-mail]/dir/
bit works perfectly and i could use javascript to redirect with the correct values but unfortunatly this shows the password in the address bar, have you any ideas

Thanks a million for your help so far

if i opened it up in a popup window with no address bar would this solve my problem ??
Are popup window addresses stored in the history ?

I think this has done it so for future reference ... if popup addresses arn't stored somewhere (someone tell me if they are !!) ...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Login_click() { //v3.0
window.open("http://"+document.form1.utxt.value+":"+document.form1.utxt.value+"@www.domain.com/dir","","height=110,width=400,left=60,top=60");
}
</script>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="#">
<input type="text" name="utxt">
<input type="password" name="ptxt">
<a href="#" onClick="Login_click()"><img src="go.jpg" width="22" height="12" border="0"></a>

</form>

Hello again Al,

Well. I don't know who will be able to see this pop-up window you were refering to, but I can tell you that you can get the url of a pop-up as easily as any other window. :/

I don't know if it's still a worry for you as I'm not sure where you are in the development of your code. 😉
