<form method=post action="http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/forms login=jonny_clydesdale">

Is the main part that I think is screwing it up. Its hard to tell exactly what the error is. If the login is indeed part of the url it needs a question mark in front of it, like, "http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/forms?login=jonny_clydesdale"
But im not sure if calling a directory with a querystring will pass the querystring into an index file.
It may need to be something like this,
"http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/forms/something.html?login=jonny_clydesdale"
Or something like this,
<form method="post" action="http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/forms">
<input type="hidden" name="login" value="jonny_clydesdale">

Also you should have quotes around each value, example: method="post" not method=post. Noticed alot of that in your code. Happy programming http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
