Dynamic Javascript link

[ejohnson747]

Hello,

I am new to javascript and am trying to create a custom log in for my ftp site. Im trying to make a form with two fields, username and password, then create a dynamic link attached to the submit button that would utilize the browser's FTP client to log them in to the FTP site. The link should look like this:

"ftp://[username]:[password]@domainName.com" where [username] would be the text entered in the username field and [password] the text from the password field.

Here is how it looks now:

<p><form name="f" onsubmit="MM_openBrWindow">
      Username:
        <input name="u" type="text"/>      
      <br/>
      Password:
  <input name="p" type="password"/>
  <input type="button" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('ftp://')" value="login"/>
    </form></p>
    
    <script type=text/javascript>
	-->
	var user = document.f.u.value+("@exponentialintelligence.net");
var pass = document.f.p.value;
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL+var user+":"+var pass+("@exponentialintelligence.net");
}
//-->
</script>

Can anyone help me please???

Try this.

Change:

window.open(theURL+var user+":"+var pass+("@exponentialintelligence.net");

To:

window.open(theURL+user+":"+pass+"@exponentialintelligence.net");

UPDATE:

ok so i changed some things around and got the user defined variables to show up in the URL. :

   <p><form name="f" onsubmit="MM_openBrWindow()" method="post"> 
      Username: 
        <input name="u" type="text"/>      
      <br/> 
      Password: 
  <input name="p" type="password"/> 
  <input type="submit" onClick="MM_openBrWindow()" value="login"/> 
    </form></p> 
    
    <script type=text/javascript> 
   --> 

function MM_openBrWindow() { 
if (document.f.u.value == ""){ 
   alert("Username is Required"); 
   return; 
} 
if (document.f.p.value == ""){ 
   alert("Password is Required"); 
   return; 
} 
  window.open("ftp://"+document.f.u.value+":"+document.f.p.value+"@ftp.exponentialintelligence.net"); 
} 
//--> 
</script>

But now the browser's FTP client is acting funny. If I try logging in through the form, (without adding @domainName.com after the username, it automatically starts a download of a blank text document.
But if I type the same URL (ftp://usernameassword@ftp.domainName.com)
directly into the browser, it loads a dialog box saying my username and password are incorrect.

If I enter the username followed by @domainName.com in this dialogue box, it will log in successfully. But If I type the same syntax (ftp://username@domainName.com:passwo...domainName.com) directly into the browser, there is an error message that says page cant be shown.

Does anyone have any experience using a web browser to connect to and FTP server?

(I am using the latest version of Safari but the majority of the people using this will be on IE.)
