Simple JavaScript password 1

[meeble]

If I have a text box and a submit button and when someone enters the password into the box, if it is correct, it takes them to a page with that password as the page name (.html), is this safe?

So, if the password was bob, they would put bob in the box and get taken to bob.html else the page would just refresh or something.

Is this possible?

Cheers

Definetly possible, but also a very bad idea. Passwords are supposed to be kept secret and safe. I don't think the users will be too happy about the fact that their password is spralled across their screen's.

You should create an associative array of some sorts that will store the password, with the related web page.
e.g. = bob | notb.html
sally | somes.html
etc.

This may be a better idea.

sean4e,

thats what i thougth to, but I was proved wrong - right here on this site!

BillyRayPreachersSon posted details of a site than uses a javascript encryption for protection.

click javascript / password pro

It looks very secure, and very difficult to crack, however to be absolutely sure, you should use server side protection.
