We have an Oracle database here that has procedures for capturing 
     errors in password/userid combinations.  On the PC side, when there is 
     a problem with the password, these procedures give error messages.    
     Currently, access or login to the database is based on our LAN User 
     Id/Password.  We would like to make the database accessible via the 
     intranet.  
     
     I am going to a JavaScript training class in March, but in the 
     meantime I need to make some progress and really don't know where to 
     start.  I do have some basic questions.  
     
     1. How do I pull/pass the LAN ID/Password to the Oracle database?
     
     2. How do I compare the LAN ID/Password to the ID/Passwords contained 
     within the Oracle database.
     
     3. How do I pass the errors generated by the various Oracle procedures 
     to the Web page -- either an error box (alert) or a separate error 
     page.
     
     Thanks for your consideration.  If there are web page(s) that will 
     help me find these answers, I'd appreciate knowing them also.
