Hi ..

I am new here and i really need help .. In ASP

This is the form code

<form name="login" method="post" action="confirm.asp">

        <div align="center">          

          <p><br>

            <strong><span class="style16">Please insert your username and password to log into the system. </span></strong></p>

          <table width="312" border="1" cellspacing="3" bordercolor="#000000">

    <tr>

      <td width="92"><span class="style15">Username:</span></td>

      <td width="195" colspan="2"><input type=text name="username" size="25"></td>

      </tr>

    <tr>

      <td><span class="style15">Password:</span></td>

      <td colspan="2"><input type=text name="password" size="25"></td>

      </tr>

    <tr>

      <td colspan="3"><div align="center">

        <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit">

      </div></td>

      </tr>

  </table>

  <br>

        </div>

      </form>

This is the confirm.asp

 <%

DIM strUsername, strPassword

strUsername = Request.Form("username")

strPassword = Request.Form("password")





IF strUsername <> "" AND strPassword <> "" THEN



' Process the form as you like here

' For example enter form to your database or send it via email



ELSE



Response.Write "<p>Please click back on your browser and complete the following fields:</p>"

IF strUsername <> "" THEN

ELSE

Response.Write "<b>� Username</b><br>"

END IF

IF strPassword<> "" THEN

ELSE

Response.Write "<b>� Password</b><br>"

END IF



END IF 

%>

But it doesnt work .. All i want is to check if the username and password match then they willl log in

Can someone just tell what is wrong with the code please

I don't think there's anything wrong with your code
have you tested it?

yes i did .. it takes me to the next page in all cases!

Hi again .. ok lets say when the username and pass are correct
i want the user to directly go to the menu.asp page ... how can i do that?

Writing the code to log in would help a lot, I guess.

Google is your friend. I don't even know ASP, but it was quite easy to find:

response.AddHeader "location", "menu.asp"

I'm not sure this works though. Another thing is that you have to call this function before outputting anything. In fact, you don't have to output anything since you will never see it anyway.
If you want the user to see the message for let's say 5 seconds, use this code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=menu.asp">

Where do i have to put it will this do?

strUsername = Request.Form ("username")

strPassword = Request.Form ("password")



If strUsername="john" And strPassword="123" Then

    Response.Write("OK to go!")

   <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=menu.asp">

 End If

Thank you !

You have to put it in the header section of the HTML part.
