members area login box problem

[namanimal]

Hi, I have a members area on my site that is php pages, and the regular part of my site is html. I have the members login/pass on one of the php pages. I'm made a login box that shows up on all of my html pages that i want when they put in their login information, they will be sent to the after login page the same as if they loged in from the members page. The problem is I cannot get it to work. when they login from any html page, it just redirects them to the login page that is .php. Is there a way for me to make the credentials that they enter on the html login box to work as if they had logged in on the php page?

Thanks a lot

Without seeing your code, I can think of two possible problems. The action in the <form> is not properly set (server path) or the script itself is set to only accept logins from the log on page, in other words, a specific referrer url.

i would check the script referred to in the action= attribute of the form tag for any issues and i would also look in the server access and error logs for clues.
