Could it be that when the browser already has a cached value for username and password, the replace or delete won't work unless I either:1- create username and password fields in the database to compare the browser's values against, or ...2- put &username=[username]&password=[password] into the context?If that's all it is, this is a HUGE misunderstanding on my part!I thought I didn't have to put &username=[username]&password=[password] into replace or delete contexts or forms or urls unless there were fields in the database with exactly the same names.Was I wrong about this?Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
