Robtech Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 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 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 The "@" symbol is treated as a wildcard character when searching, so it definitely could create problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arealink Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 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".
