Passing Data into Text box

[jmquik]

Is there any way to pass data into form fields (text) directly from the address bar in internet explorer and then automatically submitting the form.

Something like (http://url.com/login.php?username=value&password=value) without writing any extra code?

help is appreciated.

Hi,
can you give some other info?

I think you want emulate a submit of a form pressing on a link, instead fill all fields and submit... is right?

Exactly, I have a customer that wants to bybass my login form, actually pass the username and password fields to my login form and then have the user logged in.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Ok.
Backup your form's file.
Just change the method of your form with GET instead of POST. Insert a target="_blank".

Then try to submit.

You will get a new page with the query you need.

Suppose is something like http://www.myurl.com/login.php?username=bad76&password=unknow
ok?

You now can use this link directly in the page (but this give access at everyone...) or ask to your customer for username and password.

To do this you can use a javascript like this to ask the user and password when the link is clicked:

function askpwd()
{
myusr=prompt("Please insert a username","");
mypwd=prompt("Please insert  a password","");

document.location="http://www.myurl.com/login.php?username="+myusr+"&password="+mypwd
}

... // after in the page...
<a href="#" onclick="askpwd(); return false;">go inside </a>

I hope this helps...

bye bye
