You can't do that by using HTML. You need to use any kind of server side language to do that. Or you can also use HTML5 local storage to meet this specification.

HTML is client side, so its parsed on the browser. Any information like username, password, id, etc.. must be dealt with on the server side. Only a server side language as ASP.NET/PHP/Python etc can do that. You could do it with Javascript/Jquery but without any safety or security since everyone is able to read all the data.
