Special Characters in Text Field

[Robtech]

i created a Username and password DB for my clients logging into my site. I used their email address as their username. On the web page I used a find command to access the area. If I use just the password it works fine, however when I use both or just the username it tells me it doesn't like that.

Is there a problem with the @ symbol when searching in a text field?

Thanx

The "@" symbol is treated as a wildcard character when searching, so it definitely could create problems

Better:Instead of using the OP (equals) in your search form, do this...

(assuming your username field is called email)

<INPUT TYPE=hidden name="email" value="==">

<INPUT TYPE=text name="email" value="" size="20">

keep the first email entry just before the text box, don't know why, but this seems to work very well.

Works too:If you use the OP (equals), make your text box value something like "[email protected]" and boldly note for them to type their email address within the "quotes".
