Login form plays a key role in website development, which authenticate user access to other resources.

Here, we are giving our JavaScript codes for validating Login form. In our example, we have a login form with two input fields i.e. username and password, As user clicks on login button, JavaScript validation function comes into act.

Moreover, we allowed three attempts for user to login, after third attempt all fields get disabled.

var attempt = 3; //Variable to count number of attempts
............
attempt --; //Decrementing by one
.............
document.getElementById("username").disabled = true;
document.getElementById("password").disabled = true;
document.getElementById("submit").disabled = true;
return false;
}
}
}

 

Below is our complete code with download and live demo option
