I am using User authentication system, which uses 2 pages index.asp where user logs in and then the username and password is sent to the validate.asp page where it is checked against database userlist.

if username and password are matched with username and password of database record then it should redirect to new page main.asp

but it is just throwing back to index.asp

index.asp

When user log in few times it works fine and directs to the main page after verifying username and password. After page logout if user refresh the page and again uses log in page and logs in then usename value in the textbox is blank and because of that user authentication fails if message "blanks are not allowed is typed then it get displayed. Why this text box value, after refresing page is blank evenif user is entering it. Again on verification page user hits refresh (F5) then it directs to main page.
