was looking to see if someone had already started up a thread like this, where u ask questions and those who are in the know put u throgh. Somewhere u can make known the bugs u have and get help, none, tht's why i'm creating this.

i'm trying to do this nifty thing. i use squirell mail for most of my sites, i dont want clients going to a link like www.clientssite.com/webmail so as to log into their mail boxes, presently i put up a link or button on the home page with the label "Staff Login" which redirects to the page where they login. but been thinking of a script to use to put a login field right in the homepage so when the user signs in there it takes the user directly to the mailbox.
Here's the concept
the user gives in the login details, then the script acts as the midleman and actually feeds in the login details into squirell mail login page(this is done at the background) and then comes up with ur mail box.
Any ideas?

there are only a few people who can help u with that here. me i don't know jack about programming/scripts. but if u dont get ur answers here, try posting this topic in the programming area. there a some smart guys there.

ok, thanks a lot

Off the top of my head, you might want to look at adding this functionality via an iframe. It would work like adding google maps to your page: You pass in the URL of the login page as the source, define the height and width and that should probably do it. Another option would probably be to see if squirrel mail has some sort of web service that would enable you to access their login page directly from your site. Amazon does it and others do it as well.

Note: I haven't actually done these. As I said above, these are off the top of my head. There could be better options.

i like both suggestions, the first one u made might work because my head was telling me same thing but i just needed a second voice like yours to at least confirm i wazntthinking insane. I was also thinking Squirell mail will have a webserveice or an API that i can addon, officially i don't think they do, i'm still searching. i'll really hit on the iframe idea. thanks
Cheers.

thanks neptune, my2cents.
its working now, the iframe worked on it

<iframe
src ="your link here"
width="100%">
</iframe>
