hi guys. im developing a hotspot for a client and am having some trouble with a script for login.

<html>
<head><title>Welcome to whatever</title></head>
<body bgcolor=#ffcc00 text=000000>
		<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
			<tr align="center">
				<td><img src="images/whatever.gif" alt="" width="231" height="50" border="0"></td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td align="center">
					<form method="POST" action="$action?redirect=$redirect">
						<table border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0>
							<tr>
								<td colspan="2">Welcome to whatever.</td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td align=left height="23">Login: </td>
								<td align=left height="23"><input type="text" name="user"></td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td align=left height="23">Password: </td>
								<td align=left height="23"><input type="password" name="pass"></td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td colspan="2" align=right height="23"><input type="image" name="mode_login" src="images/login.gif" width="55" height="17" border="0"></td>
							</tr>
						</table>
						<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="$redirect">
					</form>
				</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td></td>
			</tr>
		</table>
		<p>
		<p>

this is the script. i need the user of this script to only have to type in their name, not the domain. ie the user would type 'johndoe' and the page will complete @mydomain.com how do i do this? i am experimenting with this javascript

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function append(formName) {
var domain = "whatever.com"; 
var user = document.forms[formName].user.value; 
var parts = user.split("@");
if (parts[1] != domain) {
document.forms[formName].user.value += "@" + domain; 
}
document.forms[formName].submit();
}
</script>

<form name="login"> 
<input name="user"><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="append('login')">
</form>

</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

but how do i integrate the two?
i dont know where to put this action="$action?redirect=$redirect"> from the first code, into my javascript

any help much appreciated

where exactly is the redirection meant to be going?

that im not to sure of. its an internal program written by another company and is not directly editable. the only support they can give us is that this action="$action?redirect=$redirect"> is the re-direct. it goes to 'x' location and gets authenticated (form is username and password)... i know its vague but this is what im working with... anyone got any ideas???

Have to say that is the crappiest support I have ever seen.

Problem is a form action needs values - for example $action - where is it to get the value for this? As the form needs that information to pass on

Basically your form is looking for several things

$action?redirect=$redirect

$action - this is a value that needs to be password on - could be a page, could be a number - does anyone there know

$redirect - again this value needs to be created

You really need to find out where and how these values are being created
