Are you setting the variables in the form?
Something like this - note the value field in the username field:
<form method="post" action="index.php" name="loginuser">
<table summary="layout table to hold login data" width="300"
align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0"
bgcolor="#ffffff">
<tr>
<td align="left"><p
class="small"><b>Username:</b></p></td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="username"
value="<?php echo
$username;?>" maxlength="50" size="15" style="width: 120px;
font-size:
12px"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left"> <p
class="small"><b>Password:</b></p></td>
<td align="left"><input type="password" name="password"
maxlength="50"
size="15" style="width: 120px; font-size: 12px">
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left"><p> </p></td>
<td align="left"><p><input type="submit"
value="login" name="login"
style="width: 50px; heigth: 18px; font-size: 12px"></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
This way, depending on how youare refreshing the login form, if the
$username variable passed your validation tests it should be set
automatically into the form.
Cheers
Stuart
