Console-style Login - Developers

How do you think I should go about making a terminal-esque login system for my website? I was sort of thinking Flash, but I was wondering if anyone knew any simpler ways?

Holy crap, can I have a copy?

Just make the textfield invisible and handle the input with JQuery or something and it shouldn't be a problem.

Stop using Js frameworks for every damn thing ! Using Jquerry for that is simply stupid.

I'm pretty sure it makes .pngs transparent in IE automatically, and $(document).ready() is very helpful. It's better to use a minified JS lib and make scripts a couple of lines in length, than a bulky hand-written script that doesn't load as quickly and hasn't been tested against all the JS engines.

cas97 sent me his program. It's actually just what I was looking for! It's brilliant and perfect for what I wanted with a few modifications.

Cool concept, simple, but very cool.

It does deal with a lot of browser compatibility issues behind the scenes though, so you don't have to worry about your javascript working in other browsers.

If anybody needs something like this, you can see it in the new [url=http://xkcd.com/]XKCD[/url] design. You can get the source for it, here : [url]http://github.com/chromakode/xkcdfools[/url] Some slight modifications and you can pretty much do what you want with it. It's very cool.

I prefered it that way I think... Oh well.
