Login and Password?

[benp]

Can anyone help me out with creating a simple login and password entry field for a web site? Without using flash.

Just the HTML form or the code that it submits to actually do the login process?

You can't do the entire thing in pure HTML (or even in JavaScript securely)... Do you have PHP running?

Are you running Apache? If so you can probably configure a .htaccess "basic auth" login. (Details easily found via Google...)

Here is the info on Apache Basic Authentication... that requires no coding, and only a little Apache configuration:

I've got this far

but what do I type in the terminal to determine the correct login and password?

simplest thing would be to use apache's own authentication, unless you need to maintain a huge database of users.

And how do I do that?
