Hello.
I'm using this log in form for my website but went a user types in the wrong
username or password, I would like to display an error message "Sorry...wrong
username" or "Sorry...wrong password". As of now this form, if wrong, returns
back to loginform.cfm.
I just think it would be nice to tell the visitors what went wrong. (Wrong
username, password, or both).
Thanks for HELP!
