Hi,

looks great. Does it fulfill any requirements, ie. any error messages
not showing up ;-)

HTH, Jochen

P.S.: What is the error message?

Semicolon is wrong here - heredoc not only doesn't require them, it breaks
it. But you know that, because you got it right elsewhere.

Aside from the lack of a closing quote, bracket and semi-colon, /" is wrong,
use \" to escape double quotes. Better still, put your quoted string in
single quotes and use the unescaped version (since you don't have any
variable substitution in there).

See embedded comments. I'm sure there's more than I found, but I got it
working at least.

For forms, use method="POST" unless you want your username and password of
your failed attempts appearing in your browser's address history. Then use
$_POST instead of $_GET (or better yet, $_REQUEST).

Otherwise, nice first attempt, and I'm pleased you produced a simple example
(no functions or classes, globals that aren't superglobals, databases, etc)
to reduce the problem set.

I am trying to fix error- object does not exist- I want it possible to allow object not to exist. I am writing a script on a page that may or may not include a login form. For example-after a visitor logs in, the login form is no longer on the page, but other content is still there. I want to bring focus to the login form using the onLoad in the body tag.....but if the login form does not exist, I do not want to perform this function.
