Hello,
I would like to add a webmail login to the mainpage of a site I designed. The webmail provider is iPower. I know someone on here was able to tell me the correct coding once before for my own webmail. I contacted iPower and they of course say it's not possible, but I know it is.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks!

This is what I have by copying their code. It doesn't work.

I can't see your site as it is blocked by my company; however, here is the code that I came up with from their site.

Code: Select all

<form name="" action="http://www.ipower.com/mail/index.bml" method="POST" enctype="">
<input class="formfield" type="text" name="address" value="" size="" maxlength="255" />
<br />
<input class="formfield" type="password" name="password" value="" size="" maxlength="255" />

<input type="hidden" name="m" value="" />

<br />
<input class="formbutton" type="submit" name="Login" value="Login" />

</form>

I will try it when I get home! Thanks a lot.

The form I had when I click submit it tried to take me to a page on my site with the .bml ending. Oops!

Works great!

I have a question though. To save space I would like the user and password boxes to say "E-mail" and "Password" so the users know what goes where, but without having it before the boxes. Is there a way I can have those words show up in the boxes, but disappear as soon as they click the boxes.

Thanks!

Sure. You could add something like this to each of those input boxes.

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="email" value="E-Mail" onfocus="if(this.value=='E-Mail'){this.value=''};" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='E-Mail'};" />

So using the code you posted above...where would these be placed? I just want one to say E-mail Address, and the other to say Password.

THANKS!!!

Actually this would only work for the non-password field. I will post something up in a few hours.

I could not find anything specific for the password box. Most people are using jQuery to do things like this but there are known issues with IE. I would say go to the jQuery site and maybe ask the question because I really couldn't find anything. However, for the Email address you would simply use this:

Code: Select all

<input class="formfield" type="text" name="address" value="" size="" maxlength="255" onfocus="if(this.value=='E-Mail'){this.value=''};" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='E-Mail'};" />
