button activated on password protected login

[daniish]

Hello,

I'm not sure that i have posted this in the best forum so feel free to move it if its inappropriate.

I would like to add a password protected button to my website which will open a form to add content.

Ideally i would like this button to be greyed-out until the user logs in but i have no idea how this is accomplished - please can someone help.


Many thanks for your time & attention

I suggest that you do not even put the button on the page unless you are logged in. Anyone could very easily activate disabled buttons via javascript or a tool like Firebug.

That said, you should store your username and password either in a database or a file of some sort. I would use sessions to track the users and generate the code for the button if they are logged in.
