I hope I don't make your eyes bleed by puting all the code here but
there is no other way to show it to you.
I made change only in one place of the code to gather "login" value:
{login:value}
Oryginaly it was: {name:value}.
$.post("{{=URL(r=request,c='default',f='ajaxuserexist')}}",
{login:value},function(result){
Below is the whole content of index.html
