How to transfer username from a form in a .php page to the username field of a .HTACCESS login pop up window?

Hi,

I have a home page with a username field which when filled and submitted redirects the user to a secure section of the site which uses .HTACCESS to authenticate the user. As I am using the username as a redirect and as part of the authentication, I would like to transfer the username entered into the home page form to the Username field of the pop up HTACESS window to save them typing it twice. How can do this?

Thanks

PHP Apache Web Server

Thanks for the reply.

I've come across this method already. However this logs the user in based on username:password. I only want to autofill the username field of login window from a form which only contains the username, not the password.

Unfortunatelly I would need to it to work from major browsers as I would have no control of the users browser.
