.......cause JavaScript isn't very reliable and UBB is generated in Perl, not PHP.
I'm not sure what you mean by:
"cause JavaScript isn't very reliable"
I do know that the password checking in done using JScript routines in the version of UBB that I am using.
I also know that what I asked for will most likely use JScript to perform the password overhead (seed computation, encrypting, coparison/checking and cookie overhead).
Thus my reason for posting in this forum.

If JScript isn't JavaScript it's pretty new to me, but you posted it in "HTML, JavaScript and CSS" forum, so JScript isn't one of those.

To clarify this, JScript is Microsoft's extended implementation of ECMAScript. JScript is implemented as a Windows Script engine. This means that it can be "plugged in" to any application that supports Windows Script, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host.
