I have a question about your suggestion. Would it not be easier to simply carry the sessionid from the php session validation to the javascript? Instead of: if(document.frmlogin.txtusername.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Username."); document.frmlogin.txtusername.focus(); return false; Why would I want to "re-enter the user name"? My common sense "which maybe completely wrong" say, YOU ARE VALIDATED IN PHPBB via issetid, now post to (document.frmlogin.userid.value=="") This is why I am not catching your angle. PhP makes so much more sense. This javascript integration is really giving me a headache! Suggestions?

See this code: function validatelogin() { if(document.frmlogin.txtusername.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Username."); document.frmlogin.txtusername.focus(); return false; } if(document.frmlogin.txtpwd.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Password."); document.frmlogin.txtpwd.focus(); return false; } document.frmlogin.login.value="Success"; document.frmlogin.action="operation.php?mode=login"; return true; } You need to create a *similar* function (eg 'BBValidateLogin()') to check different html field names. For example: function BBValidateLogin() { var f = document.forms[0]; alert('username is ' + f.username.value); } The username.value comes from this: <input type="text" class="post" name="username" size="25" maxlength="40" value="" /> where you have name="username" So take the name="..." and put a .value on the end. Rinse, repeat until you have checked all of the fields you need to. Return true for the form to submit. Return false for it to NOT submit. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
