Hello everyone,

I am trying to do a username login for my webpage with Javascript and I can only get one user in, I have tried to add on various other users and it does not work. Could anyone lend me a hand in figuring this out, I want to add other usernames and passwords and I simply am not accomplishing it. Whoever can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

God Bless!

Will

Welcome to the forum, I see you did not read the bold text that siad this forum is for completed scripts not questions. A moderate will most likely move this....

I am too lazy to run your code, but I see a flaw in how you are referencing the form field values.

You should reference them like
document.formName.elementName.value

an not

elementName.value

you do not have a name with your form either...you could use the form array, but it is better to have a name.

AND finally

when using evernt handlers like onclick you do not need javascript:
onclick='validate(.....)'
