why won't IE let me use my ftp login script?

okay here is where I'm at presently.
When a user logs in as anonymous, they are to enter "anonymous" in the user ID field, and their email address in the password field. However the "@" symbol in the email address seems to confuse IE, so I get an error message page.

So then I tried removing the password field, hoping that IE would do what Netscape does by prompting you for a password, no such luck.

the pass= window.escape(pass); command will prevent the error caused by the "@" symbol, but it does not capture the email address.

here are some pages that I am experimenting on

HTTP://www.phoenixsoftware.com/signin.htm,

signin2.htm, and signin3.htm

Below is my code.


<!--
function enter()
{
user = document.frm.user.value;
pass = document.frm.pwd.value;
window.location = &quot;ftp://&quot;+user+&quot;:&quot;+pass+&quot;@phoenixsoftware.com/pub/&quot;;
pass= window.escape(pass);
}
//-->

why don't you just set up a guest account with the same priveledges as anonymous, and have them use that instead, just use a passwd that doesn't have a @ in it. adam@aauser.com

Done! Thanks! But now it is not working in Netscape 6. Any ideas?
