I'm looking to add a password input field on part of my website, but instead of having seperate user id's and passwords, i want a question that only my friends would know, and when you enter the right answer and click submit it carries you to the page. When you enter the wrong answer you get an error page or something. I know the code for the password field <input type=password> and then <input type=submit>, but i dont know how to do the rest. I believe its CGI I need to go along with it, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Rob

when you set up your forms in html they look real neat but you still need to tell the server what to do with them. TO do this you have to put something either in the action attribute or in the onSubmit attribute.

<form method="post" action="http://pub11.bravenet.com/emailfwd/senddata.php" onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)">

in that example the action attribute sens my form off to a free form processor from bravenet.com and the onsubmit runs a javascript check to see if all the required forms are filled out. There are a lot of free java script password generators, but they aren't nearly as secure as server side scripting languages like php perl or other cgi options. Google is good place to start. or if your feeling lazy try this link http://javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex6.shtml
