Heya, Divina.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem.

You'll want to set window.location.href.

  1. window.location.href 
did the trick, also managed to add a validation script which also works fine.

The only problem is that people can view the source code and retrieve my username and password, but I guess thats why I shouldn't use javascript for loging in.

Thanks again as always.

If you've got support for a server-side language, then use that instead.
