i am trying to create a website. It is going to be a website for a club that i am making. I was wondering if there is anything like java scripts to make the people sign up for the club. I need help. Is there anything that will make it so people can put a username and password in and be part of the club?

In order to allow people to sign in with user name and password, you will need a database backend that support what you want to do. If you just want the sign up form, all you need to do is just to create an input form using HTML.
To work with a database though, you will need a server side technology like ASP, ColdFusion, PHP, and the like.
I am a web developer by trade and have been one for the past 9 years. If you need more help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you want to have people sign up for a club, then *you* will have to keep track of signed up people and a database of passwords. A javascript would run on a *page viewer's* computer and thus wouldn't do you much good! You need PHP or ASP or some such that would store the password/memberlist database on your hosting computer, and send copies to you via email so you're informed of the membership! One way to have email sent to you is (free) via http://www.jotform.com. Another is via the formmail.php script available (free) at http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/

If you are new to web mastering, you should probaly do a bit more reading before you try something like making an account based site. I see what you mean, and i was looking for the same thing a few months ago. But there's quiet a bit of work behind a simple log in box. I cant help you with that, but if you want help creating your site, try visiting http://devnetforum.forumer.com or http://www.devnet.tk There, just post a message in the web design section about what you want on your website and we'll get it done for you.

JavaScript is not a workable solution if your intention is to truly keep the members-only areas secure. Anyone who is even remotely technically capable, if only to be able to read JavaScript and figure out how it probably works, will be able to bypass it.
You need to use a server-side language like PHP or ASP.NET, and a database solution to store your user accounts.

As I understand it (I only host sites, not create them) you have to have special HTML/Java/etc programming, and probably a database. You will probably need to contact a professional website designer.
