Hey, I'm working on sort of a messenger program for a site I help with. I'm trying to figure out how to take :

A) 2 text boxes - 1 user name 1 password
B) Command Button

and make it communicate with a website with a java script login so the user can obviously login

Any points in a direction are appreciated

Is it java or javascript?

a far as I can tell its javascript, im asking the guy who owns the site but I cant understand what hes saying, he seems to think that its generated by the site on the fly. If it helps at all, its an elgg site similiar to this Welcome to TickerHeads!

Please post the HTML and javascript you have.

Elgg is PHP based.

This is what I think the login looks like, but it also looks like its mixed with a facebook bit. I didn't want to post my friend's site domain, but that's what I think im working with.

HTML Code:

<div id="login-box">
	<h2>Log in</h2>
		<form   action="http://friends_site.com/action/login" method="POST" >
<input type="hidden"  name="__elgg_token"  value="2b2dba847048610041d8140e58073fe0" /> <input type="hidden"  name="__elgg_ts"  value="1262216091" /> <p class="loginbox"><label>Username<br /><input type="text"   name="username" value="" class="login-textarea"/> </label><br /><label>Password<br />

<input type="password"   name="password"  value="" class="login-textarea" /> </label><br /><input name=""  type="submit" class="submit_button"  value="Log in"  /> <div id="persistent_login"><label><input type="checkbox" name="persistent" value="true" />Remember me</label></div></p><p class="loginbox"><a href="http://friends_site.com/account/register.php">Register</a> | <a href="http://friends_site.com/account/forgotten_password.php">Lost password</a></p></form>		
	</div><script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="facebooklogin-box"><fb:login-button onlogin="facebook_onlogin();"></fb:login-button></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function facebook_onlogin() {
	document.location.href = "http://friends_site.com/action/fbconnect/login";
}
FB.init("e2bcd5fec0891ab12ae808689b10ba7c", "http://friends_site.com/mod/fbconnect/xd_receiver.html"); 
</script>
<div class="clearfloat"></div>	        </div>

What are you trying to do?

Accept the username and password and submit them to another site, or use them with an API?

[merkaba33]

I dunno if thats the right login, I want it so that people can enter the login information so that they can access parts of their account like buddy list/videos through the program if that makes sense.

Is this a stock Elgg installation? By that, I mean it has been installed on a server and is in use, or are you extending an existing system?

Where does VB6 fit in?

its not stock in the sense we're running a handful of plugins. Since we're running it as a niche social network, im trying to use what little vb6 I know to set up a stand alone messenger using vb6 that lets you use some of the functions on the site like buddy messaging or watching your user videos, basically features already built into the site but I want to set it up so they can have full functionality off-site.

I dont know if that clarifies anything but if you're still interested in helping me figure out the login bit pm me or keep posting here. I can probably give you more information on what im doing on msn or something just because I'm pretty sure I'm doing a terrible job at explaining anything.
