 Remember Login details with a checkbox

I am trying to add a check box to the login form that gives a registered
user the option of remembering their login details for this machine. I
don't want this to be a permanent option but on a per machine basis so users
at public machines don't get their passwords remembered at the internet cafe
in the Zambezi!

So I guess I need to check if remember checkbox value = checked, then login
details are recorded in cookie. Also the login form needs to retrieve login
details from the cookie if checkbox value - checked or else as usual use the
values in the posted form. Also what happens if the user changes their
password - when does the login cookie get re-writen? I guess the checkbox
value would be stored in the cookie as well?

Any ideas or plans of attack to this would be greatly welcomed.

Try the following. There is a "Onclick" on the Login button, to which I
added another block of cEvent ustom code. Then I added two other blocks of
Event custom code - to the BeforeShow and BeforeUnload of the login page. I
also added a checkbox named "RememberMe" to the login form

Thanks for this Don,
Ive probably ballsed something up as Im only getting a temp cookie created -
it works untill you close the browser ( Ive checked the cookie directory and
its there untill you close the browser). The password is remembered for the
current session as well ( If you go back to the login page the details are
correctly inserted.

In the code youve supplied should the "RememberMe.Value" have a value?
Should this = the value if that check box is clicked?

Thanks again

Andrew

RememberMe.Value is a boolean so no "=" in the If-Then.

Cookies are temporary if there is no exipiration assigned to them. In my
example, I set it to one day, which actually is not very helpful to you.
Try setting it to something like "01/01/2030". Without setting .Expires
into the future, the cookie expires when the session ends.
