I am using the Login object, on initial - first time entry I set the user name / password to the same value (using a csv flat file for data storage).
I want to "Force" the visitor to go on his first visit to a page to change his password.

I added two events - Onclick on the button, like this :

JavaScript function - checkEmail();
Onclick - Link to the relevant page in my project - this works as expected.

My checkEmail(); function is inserted into the HTML page just before the /body> tag, below is the function - but ' after the first login and the password change, the function is again behaving as if the username and password are still equal... WHY? I know they are not equal...

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkEmail()
{
if (loginform.username.value == loginform.password.value)
{
alert('Please update your password and your details');
.....;
} else {
.....;
}
}
</script>

Although I cannot teach you how to write code, I doubt that this is correct/reliable: Shouldn't you use this? Also note that login happens on the server (via PHP). So the values may not be valid in the browser.

Well, it seems that the "Remember me" was the problem, maybe the cookies installed on my PC when I checked this option, would like to hear that I am wrong, because I really appreciate the benefit of this option.

Anyway, it now works with a single event on the Submit button - checkEmail();
And, the following JS function does the trick

Thanks Pablo

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkEmail()
{
if (loginform.username.value == loginform.password.value)
{
window.location.href='http://www.nmaa-rc.org.au/editprofile_html.php';
alert('The Password you used is just for first time visitors\rPlease change it and fill in the other details.\r Once you Submit changes - Log in again');
}
else
{
window.location.href='http://www.nmaa-rc.org.au/membershiprenewal.php';
}
}
</script>
