    You need to send the values entered in Username/Password fields to another page that contains a script to check if the user is valid or not. to do that you can choose one of GET or POST methods that in this case, it would be POST. try sth like this:

    You could just validate with a active script that contains the user id and password but that would be less than secure. It is best to use a script that validates against a database or secure password file on the server.

    Link it to a database and make it search the database for the username then check the password. If either are incorrect have them try again.
