Questions about webmail login

Hello all.
I am currently trying to have email username and password fields in a form,
so that users can log in to their accounts directly from my page. I found a
link (that the company says can be used to log in, but i don't see how)...and
i cannot change my button from submit to post......or is that the same thing?
I am not sure how to proceed from there. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Does the company provide you with a same form to copy into your site?

Correction:

Does the company providing the webmail provide you with a sample form code that you can copy and use
in your site? If so, then copy to notepad first, then paste into your page in HTML/Code View.

No, they don't, but i have the code for their login page. What they give is a
url, but i can't get it to work.
The thing is.......i want ot be able to check my email, whilst still staying
within the "framework" of my page....if you understand what i mean.

I have split the page into frames. The top frame is branding. The
bottom/lower frame has info/weather, login, etc on it. I want to be able to
just type in my username and passowrd, hit login, and the mail interface will
open up into the lower frame. As i said, i have the provider's coding, if
that's any help.

I have kind of bypassed it on another page, by simply using an inline frame
page, but that's just a "quickfix" for what i want to do.

Thanks very much for your help.

If they have only provide your with a URL the loads their login page, then the only thing you can do
is load their login page in you lower frame.

Thomas,
They have given me the ENTIRE mail interface (all of the files). They have
included the login page on their site (www.actol.net), and they now want to
change it, so that they just have the username, password and login along with
other info on that page (testing server: ww.actol.net {yes, there are
supposed to only be 2 w's}). Is there no other way to have it? (Apart from
storing "my" new login page on the mail server with all of the other
information)
Thanks in advance,
Dominic

You need to load the following page in your lower frame:
http://webmail.actol.net/Login.asp
because the form post back to itself.

Under the test server, you have it set up to use the FP Discussion Web Handler, and not FP Form
Handler, which is not going to work because the way they have the form current set up, it is posting
back to itself to be processed and you can not do this using the FP Form Handler, plus the form is
using ASP/VBScript which also will not allow it to work with the FP Form Handler.
