texte = This is going to f#@$ up at least 3 of my client's sites that use this method of login. I have a form setup where users enter the username and password. The form posts to the same page where the user/pass combo is checked against the Users.db. If a match is found, the user redirected to a http://username:password@domain.tld/home.tpl page so that IE caches the information and prevents an authentication dialog. Does anyone else have cross-browser, cross-platform method of logging in through a form? On 2/3/04 9:06 AM, "John Peacock"
