Hi Joe,
what you want to do is not a job for JavaScript, but for Velocity (it's a
server side question, JS is for client side). Have a look in top.vm - it
shows the login form or not depending on if a user is logged in. For getting
user name, have a look how the edit account (username) message is made in
top.vm
