Re: Setting up a multiple login interface

Do not use JavaScript for this purpose ever or your website WILL GET HACKED.

Anyone can simply view your HTML source code (if your JavaScript is embeded) or view the JavaScript file (the file name is in the HTML source), and it will clearly display the username and password in plain text!!!!!

BE WARNED. It's not a case of your site might get hacked, it's more a case of how soon will it be?

You MUST always use a server side scripting code for this purpose. Server side scripts are run on the server and not downloaded to each visitors computer. This way, no-one can view the source of your scripts. Try PHP for a linux server or ASP for Windows servers. If your host does not offer these, upgrade your hosting or move hosts.
