JSession ID/jQuery Command on Database Not Working

Guys,

I have a database (lavcabase.com). I am doing an email survey campaign where within the email is this command:

http://www.lavcabase.com/module/local-login/login.do;jsessionid=7F5A22A71D473E02F8E0B3DC9D0D39DA

username: [Username, fallback=] password: [Password, fallback=]

This makes it so that in the email we send to a user of this database they see their username and password.

We send out this email every year. The site currently runs on an apache server that belongs to rackspace. We migrated cloud hosting services from AWS to rackspace after this survey was sent out last year and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with why this command isn't working.

I don't know much about javascript. I only want to know if I need to upload a file to our sql database that includes the username and passwords, how I would go about doing it and what the heck this command means or how to change it?! Thanks.

Yes you will probably have to upload a file, as for the code, it looks to me that the function username is looking for a username and password to display, and if the isn't one it provides a fall back (which i assume is Username and Password).
