Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 13.2003

i am trying to setup a simple page that will basically work as login infterface for an FTP server. in detail: ive got a html page that has a form that requests for a username and password. i want to be able to pass the entered username and password to a link, so it will fall in the approriate format for IE viewing ([url]http://username:[email protected][/url]).

my question is, how do i pass the entered username and password to the url/ftp site in the format described above?
can this be achieved with only html?

thanks in advance!

okay, but what FORM METHOD do i use? is it FORM METHOD=POST or what?

also, how do i get the entered text to place the "username" and "password" into the url?

for instance, if i enter the following:

username: bob

password: lucky

how do i get the "bob" and "lucky" to pass to a url of:

http://bob:[email protected]

?
