Hi, this is my problem:

I have an usual Login page (user name and password), works fine, but later I wanted to erase the fields when the Submit button was clicked, so I wrote a small function in JavaScript (don´t know much Javascript, so I looked in the net for info).
FInally, the erase function works fine, but now the user name and password are not submitted! I get nothing with:

<? $nick=$_POST['txtnick']; ?>

in the page that is linked to the login page.

the function is this:

function clean(Formu) {
  Formu.txtnick.value=""
  Formu.txtpass.value=""
}

And I call the function from the submit button:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Log in" onClick="clean(document.form2)">

How I solve this problem? or what is the correct way to do it?

Thanks
SuMajestad

Why do you need the fields to be cleared?

If you clear the fields before the form is submitted, that information won't be present in the POST / GET data. It sounds a little over the top to want to clear the fields. I would just take precautions that cookies aren't made or saved, you're using SSL to submit the data and the data isn't redisplayed to the user, whereas sensitive information won't make its way to the browser's cache, otherwise you ought to be alright.

Espere que esto ayude! Adios! :-)

Rich

The Login form I talked about it´s on a frame that is located left in the home.htm of my site, it´s like a quick Login, all the other pages are displayed in other frame(center), so I need to clear the fields because they are always visible.

I see, so you have the field in the left frame set to target the right frame. In that case then, I would put the javascript in the page that loads in the right frame, then once that page loads the information visible in those fields is wiped out.
