I saw people doing it for other e-mail clients. Unfortunatley I am not that clued up on Java so I had problems in trying to edit them to work with hotmail. Of course I did spend some considerable amount of time trying to get it working myself but I only got as far as getting error messages when I was trying to log in. If I find a way of doing it I will let this group know first of course and share the source out with everyone who has been kind and tried helping me with this. Everyone's effort on this matter is greatly appreciated and I have valued every post repying to my prob.

If u saw some people do it, why don't u check their source?

...and post it here, cause you made me curious about it.

Yeah I think thats what happened to me too. I just went to msn.com and copied a chunk out of their source and was able to type in my user name and password ok but it gave me a invalid login error.

oh btw,

if you want the password to remain hidden under little ***** then change the input type from "text" to "password"

I changed the action to https://lc4.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/dologin" method="post"

but it throws an error and you have to login again. It may prohibit remote logging in

shrug

I'm glad that the script worked for you because I just remembered that Iframes are not supported by Netscape anyway.

and since the file was calling the whole hotmail page there was no way to center just on the login console. anyway, good luck

yup your script works! Though it connects the user to passport only. The layout though is exactly what I am looking for but maybe with a echo on the passport as it is visible when you type it in.

Thanks

Try this (not sure if it works though, it came up to me a few seconds ago):

<form action="https://www.passport.com/emailcoming.asp">
<table>
<tr>
<td> Login:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="login"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit"></td>
<td><input type="reset"></td>
</tr>
</table
</form>

Your entered login and password will be sent to Hotmail and I hope they will return your Inbox. But this script is just a wild guess.

Oh one last thing. This works great but as it is pointing to the hotmail site I cannot edit it very much. Is it possible to get it without anything but the login box? The hotmail blue background would look a bit silly on my page. Thanks again!

RC that is exactly what I am looking for! I tried cutting it out of the hotmail homepage myself but ended up getting errors when trying to log in. The bit of code that you gave me works great!

Thanks!

Ok sorry guys I have asked this before but did not have much response so I am hoping for a better shot this time. Is there a way to insert the hotmail login window into your homepage? I have seen people do this with other internet-mail that are not so well known. I want it so it is just like it is in msn.com
