Lo all

I'm looking to create a login system using a numbered keypad instead of the standard Username/Password boxes.

Trying to figure out the best way to go about it.

I've currently got it set up as a keypad
using 10 buttons (image fields) to act as the numbers.

so basically building the form was simple, it's catching the numbers into the textbox below (the password field)
thats got me a little confused.

the form needs to send info from the button value into the same form on thes ame page, and then not overwrite itself when the second button is pressed. Hmmmmm

any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

One way to do it would to create duplicate pages for however many numbers are in the login/password and have the first page submit to the second and on this page have a hidden field set to the number passed from the first page, then the second page passes the new number and the hidden field number to another hidden field on the third page and so on and so on, then the last page submits the whole thing to be checked against your database.
Long winded i know but its all i can think of off the top of my head.

I got a reply on another forum stating that this can only be done using Javascript.

ok, gonna take a look at some code for a calculator, as that is basically what i need.

It's got numbers and it passes them to a textbox before calculating a sum, so i hope it gives me some inspiration.

Because these buttons will do nothing for the 13% of users who do not use JavaScript you will want to draw them with JavaScript. but heres how you do it anyway. thx to a guy called Charles who answered me in about 5 seconds.

document.write('&lt;div&gt;')
document.write('&lt;button class="key" onclick="this.form.password.value += this.value" style="margin-left:6.5ex"&gt;0&lt;/button&gt;')
document.write('&lt;/div&gt;')
// --&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;button type="submit"&gt;Log on&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button type="reset"&gt;Clear&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
