I want to have a login box on my site (www.mysite.com) that contains 2 fields. The 1st field will be a username and the 2nd field a password.

When the use clicks the submit button (on www.mysite.com) I want it to open another page (www.destinationsite.com) in a new window (_blank).

On www.destinationsite.com there is another login page, I want this login page to be automatically populated and submit so it will take them directly into their account.

DETAILS:

www.destinationsite.com requires an 8 digit number for the username. Most of my clients can't remember their number and have to keep looking it up at every login so here is what I want to do: I wanted to have a file on www.mysite.com (clients.db) which will look something like this:

john.smith,12345678
mary.someone,87654321
henry.nogood,74638293
phil.jackson,73847633

NO PASSWORDS for 2 reasons. 1. security and 2. the password on www.destinationsite.com changes every 30 days.

So, what I want it to do is lookup the username (in clients.db) on www.mysite.com then I want to take the corresponding 8 digit number (from clients.db) and populate www.destinationsite.com with that number and the password (that they entered on www.mysite.com). Then I want the submit button automatically clicked on www.destinationsite.com which will login the client to their account.


How would I go about doing this???

Slightly confused. Anyway, you are best using php. ASP and PERL can be slow when you start getting loads of hits per day. It is possible to use VB, but it would be pointless as it may not be recognised on all browsers.

I don't think that Javascript would work, as the coding will require a set database and a constant reload for anything to happen.

I suppose a java applet would work, but it will have various speeds from time to time.
