Remember UserName and Password.

You can use cookie.
When user select "Remember..." and submit to login,put a cookie in it's computer like this:
Response.Cookie("CookieName"
="CookieValue"
And,you also need to write this in your index.asp:
If Request.Cookie("CookieName" = "WhatYourSet" Then
.....
Else
.....
End If
Just like that.
Maybe it's wrong,but I have done my best.

sunlxy, you forgot only one thing - set the expiry of the cookie, otherwise it will be deleted upon browser closing.
I hope this helped.
P.S. I think Kirilla acutally brought up the topic of auto-complete ("When do the windows's "Remember password" dialog appear?" Well this is a part of the browser, special autocomplete form application, which we the web developers can not control or access.

Hi.
I've tried this one:
<html>
<head>
<Script Language="JavaScript" RUNAT="SERVER">
Response.Cookies("OsiamO".Expires="December 31, 2001";
Response.Cookies("OsiamO"="CookieValue";
</Script>
</head>
</html>
It worked. Thanks. Another question, if I want to store client's password in the cookie, do I need to find out a security code?
Thanks for your help, Kirilla

You can store the password in exactly the same way you stored the username:
But there is a problem. It means passwords will be transmitted over the network in unencoded way. anyone listening on port 80 will be able to intercept the password. so the best way for you is to design some encryption/decryption function on the server side and then you will set the cookie like this:
and retrieve it like this:
The simplest encryption option would be to have a function which XORs the string with some long word. BTW, then you only need one function because it will perform decryption if you run it on encrypted pass.
I hope this helped.

You have to do character-by-character XOR yourself. I don't have it in VBScript but the idea (in terms of algorithm) is the following:
for i=1 to len(password)
encoded = password xor ord(key[succ(pred(i) mod keylen)]);
'where keylen = Len(key)
I hope you'll be able to implement it from the above algorithm. If not, just tell me, I'll make the sub in VBSCript later when I have more time.

Hi Rydel.
As I tried, the bitwise XOR doesn't work for chars in JavaScript. I always get 0(zero). I think, it is the most simple example to show my code:
...
var myChar="A";
myChar^="B"; //do myChar="A"(XOR)"B"
alert(myChar); // display the result of XOR
...
The result is 0.( As I see it worked with integers)
regards, Kirilla
