Ive seen this on many hosting sites, and would like to add this to my new one im almost done with.

I have the box for username and password. I want it where when the page loads theres text in each that says "username" and the other "password". Then When they enter that and click the button, they enter their cpanel.

Do any of you know how to do this, or have any references for me to look at?

Thanks a bunch :)

I'm not sure about cpanel, because I don't own a copy/have access to the files of it. But can you open the cpanel files and see where the form is, what the code is for it, then create a similar one in your website, eg, if the form in the cpanel code looks like;

<form action="login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="password" name="pword">
</form>

then you would create a form that will submit the details to the cpanel login.php file, and make sure the username and password fields are correctly named.

Thanks,

Do any of you know how to make it when the page loads in one box it has the text "username" and in the other "password" automatically?

<input type="text" name="uname" value="Username">
<input type="password" name="pword" value="Password">

Add a bit of Javascript code so that when the box is clicked in, it makes the text disappear. Works more effectively:

onfocus="this.value=''";

Just add that to all your form fields. So, an example form field would be:

input type="text" name="nameHere" value ="Username" onfocus="this.value=''";

Will.
