Question

How to create a login page?

Asked by: Lun

I am current using Dreamweaver to do a webpage. How do I create a login page?
I have read previous threads about doing a login page but I still don't understand. Is someone kind enough to step by step teach me what should I do? I don't even know how to create a date base for the users and how to link everything together when done.

Please help!

Also one other thing to keep in mind - make sure your web hosting company supports ASP.

Lun,
The first thing you have to find out is which server side language your host supports. Find out and tell us about it, I'm sure we can help you from there :-)

by: adilkhanPosted on 2003-07-25 at 11:12:56ID: 9006770

just remember in above tutorial

Request.Form("username"),"

user name is the name of your textbox (user name) box.

replace is the function to filter invalid characters.

ADODB to create ADO instances (database connection, sql etc)


if you have more questions let me know.

 

by: LunPosted on 2003-07-25 at 23:50:48ID: 9009889

I read the websites above. I read the code. I am currently using Dreamweaver. Where do I paste the codes into?
And how do I create a database in microsoft access and link them together?

 

by: klykkenPosted on 2003-07-26 at 05:03:25ID: 9010524

Lun,
it all depends on which server side language you will be using.

 

by: coreybryantPosted on 2003-07-26 at 06:40:01ID: 9010750

Since we still do not know if you can use ASP or not, if you download http://www.outfront.net/spooky/login.htm - they will give you answers to your questions plus they have a forum dedicated to this easy to use login script to give you free help.

Lun,

1. I am currently using windows 98. Can I use ASP language?

Yes you can use ASP but you need to install PWS...

Try to check the below link this will guide on how you can install PWS on your PC...

http://www.w3schools.com/asp

regarding connection to access try to check out the link for more info...

http://www.w3schools.com/ado
http://www.w3schools.com/sql

for more discussion regarding login checkout the link below...

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/ASP/Q_20621920.html

Try to do it first on your own and if you find problem with the code then post the problem that you are encountering on the correct topic area... Like ASP... that is if you decide to use ASP...

HTH...

Happy programming...

I installed the PWS from my windows 98 SE. I tried typing a simple ASP code and try to view it from the browser. But a error page was shown. Why is this so?

Seems like a basic question, however do you have a site hosted? If you want a login page I don't think you'll be running the site from a win98 PC.

So, if you have hosting, contact your ISP ands ask them if you can use MS Access and ASP
