form in a table cell
Hi
I have an existing table that I need to put a form in one of the cells for user name and password. I have everything in the cell I need but I do not know where to put in the code to tell the site where to go to check in the visitor input.
If need be I can email with site location, so you can take a look
Thank You
Lisa

Hi blelisa,
what about right after the ''?
<td height="135" valign="top" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><form name='somename' action='something' onSubmit='something'>
<font color="#000066">User
Name</font>
<input type="text" name="Username" size="16" /><br>
<font color="#000066">Password </font>
<input type="password" name="Password" size="16" />
<input type="submit" value="Sign In"></form>
</td>

<form name="loginform" action="chk_login.asp" method="post"><font color="#000066">User Name</font>
<input type="text" name="Username" size="16" /><br>
<font color="#000066">Password </font>
<input type="password" name="Password" size="16" />
<input type="submit" value="Sign In"></form>
I'd highly recommend using a validator to check your code to find simple errors such as these. They help me immensely, so much so that I can often find errors on sight now from exposure to the code.

Thanks for the info
I validated and cleaned it all up except for OnSubmit.
What are the accepted values for this? I have been trying to figure that out since this morning!

onsubmit would only be used if you're using a JavaScript form checker to ensure the input from the user complies with your requirements. It would take the form of:
onsubmit="functionName()"
However, if you're not checking the form's content using JavaScript, you would not use this attribute at all.

on top of that you ONLY need a name for a form when using javascript, AND javascript can be circumventerd. it's better to do the check serverside. it's much more secure
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.
