Grab text from html with user and pass???

[Paul Goodyear]

Cheers,

Nah it still won't let me.

I even got the username setup so I can pass a username and password.

But it still didn't work.

If I give it the username and password it just keeps looping, if I press
enter twice to give no username and no password the code exit's and it
prints the Authorisation Error produced by the failed logon. :(((

Anybody????????
