Call login function from non vb page
 

I have a custom page for my homepage. Its just basic html not linked to vb in anyway. I want to link a login form to login to my vb forum from this page.

Can I just include the default navbar_loginform or would I need to call something else via the page before? Or would I need to switch to a php page completely?

Ive also seen the external java script options. Would that work for a login?

If this has been done before which I'm sure it has can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I've got a sloppy form working, but I'd like to know the proper way to do this.

To get my cobbled-together form, I did a view source on the admincp login (which doesn't have extraneous navigation) and changed the paths.

But I'm sure it still has a lot of stuff I don't need.
