Login User User, Can't get Password Feild: Password?

[Guest]

Hi

When making a User Login form from the Dreamweaver 8 Recipes, it falls short of creating the User Login Form. I've tried a few combinations of Insert > Form > Text Feild > I do not know what input Tag Accessibillty Attirbutes to add in

ID:

Label:

Style...

Posistion...

Access Key:

Tab Index:

Next, when adding in the Server Behaviors the same dimwhit condition re-applies, in:

Password Feild:

I want to access: Password defined in the DW8 tutorial.

My access is restricted to User Login, derived from the text field.

I've tried changing it and many other variations to no avail.

In Summary:

I just want to make a User Login Form.

Rather than use the tutorials.

Please Help.

Ditch the "Recipes" - Your asking for help on something that I feel it's safe to say nobody around here has anymore.  Let's just look at doing it from scratch.

To do a proper log in form you'll need to use a dynamic server platform such as PHP or ColdFusion. There are ways to sort of do this via JavaScript field validation, but this is not secure. JS can be disabled.

Question 1 - what server language are you using?

If PHP, do a Google Search for "creating a simple log in form in PHP"  you'll find tons of resources.  Same for ColdFusion.

Figuring out how to do this without relying on a very dated extension or reference will be a much better way to go, and you'll find a lot more help if you need it.  I hope you don't mind the suggestion, I'm, with the best of intentions,  just trying to guide you in a direction that will be far better long term.

Hi Lawrence

Thank you for your reply

I've been working so much lately that turning around to dynamic web development simply reminds me of a learing brick wall, my tired overworked brain.

Thank God for Adobes on-line forum and WA. I use PHP and MySQL and have SS from WA. So far I've uploaded and tested locally and remotely, a .php contactus page. When uploaded remotely, the security lettering was not visible? I uploaded the fonts file again using Filezilla and voila, a working contact page.  Now, I'm going to have a re-think, a rest and re-address the contactus .php page adding text boxes like a telephone number and a rendevous text box. Also, Jason Byrnes from WA added the recipes file to my downloads account and I went ahead and developed the frist page. I'd still like to know how they create snippets forms which ID in the server Behaviors Panel > User Authentication > User Login >  because when I was working with-out the .recipes file I had ago at making the form feilds yet no matter how I combined the ID's they would not bind the server behaviors, any clues?

Thanks for reading
