Something is not clicking here. You submit to login.cgi.... the required
fields here can be sent as hidden provided that you have a means of
populating them with appropriate values (Such as ASP, Perl, etc.). You
package up all your goodies and "POST" it all to LOGIN.CGI. What are you
talking about that is wanting you to send it login.cgi?
Did you see my previous message with the demo code for both a form based
login and for a an ASP based login? I took those from working code. I have
lots of users that get in every day that way. What am I missing? Keep
talking and we will help you get this thing going. What are you using to
carry their identity around the rest of your site?
