data from textfield

[macluv22]

Hi,

Does somebody know how to get data from a textfield (from another html-page)? Please check this example:


login.html
=======
<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;verify.html&quot; name=&quot;veri&quot;>
Username: <INPUT type =&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;username&quot;>
<p>
Password: <INPUT type =&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;password&quot;>
<P>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot; Log in &quot;>


verify.html
========
username = document.veri.username.value;
password = document.veri.password.value;

if (username ==&quot;administrator&quot; && password == &quot;whatever&quot
{
window.alert (&quot;Yo&quot;!);
}

I hope someone can help me. Thanks!!!

use this as your form-opening tag:

<form method=&quot;get&quot; action=&quot;success.html&quot; name=&quot;veri&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return validateForm(this.username.value, this.password.value);&quot;>

and write a validateForm function something like this:

function validateForm(username, password){
if (username == &quot;administrator&quot; && password == &quot;whatever&quot
{
window.alert (&quot;Yo!&quot;
return true;
}
else
{
window.alert (&quot;try again&quot;
return false;
}
}

Visitors will only be sent to success.html if they enter the correct username/password combination.

Make sure you put the function in a separate *.js file and include it in your html code so that they can't do a &quot;view-source&quot; to get the correct password ;-)
