Hi there,

I only joined up a few weeks ago, so I missed the beginning of the 
thread, but I just thought I'd let you know that the __ac_name and 
__ac_password don't stop your page from validating. I thought this may 
be a HTML 4.01 quirk (it's been a while...) so I tested it on a dummy 
page and it validates fine. I'll enclose the html at the end of this. 
One thing that it could be is if you give your input fields the same id 
as the name attribute - it would very probably "unvalidate" it. IDs are 
much more specific: you can't start one with a number either...

The good news is, you don't have to use this __ac_nonsense as the id - 
I use "username" and "password" and it works very nicely (and it's 
easier for other people to read). I actually just use a plain 
exUserFolder, rather than Plone, but it uses the same form variables,  
so I assume it's similar.

Cheers,
Tom
