[username],[password] for [authenticate]

interpreted = N
texte = WC'ers,I'm hoping that someone can elaborate on the way that the [authenticate] tags [username] and [password] values are dealt with by the browser.I am building a site where the user should be able to log out, clearing info on their session from a database that tracks sessions (this is easy enough). I then set a variable that triggers a new [authenticate] tag which I had hoped would then take the new input and reset the [username], [password] tags values.What seems to be happening instead is that on this logout page, the [username], [password] tags have no value, but the refer and the page accessed after both have filled values??(I'm checking values by placing the [username] and [password] tags in the file raw and viewing the result throw the browser)Then after reautenticate with a new s pair of values, the same page seems to have access to the first [username], [password] pair entered, but the other pages have access to the new values. It's like its one set behind.In reading through the list, it seems like I can't directly manipulate the values, but have to bring up a new authenticate box. I'd like to be able to set the values to empty. Also the username comes up with the old username prefilled and I like to kill this as well!It would be helpful to understand what WC is actually doing behind the screens here. Thanks!Jon __________________________ Jon Robinson Chakra5 studios http://www.chakra5.netjon@chakra5.net (206) 781-0140 (o) (206) 228-0451 (c) ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
