[Ghostrider]

I finally found a script that i can work on my network and is perfect for javascripting the script is<br>
<br>
&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;<br>
&lt;!--//<br>
/*This Script allows people to enter by using a form that asks for a<br>
UserID and Password*/<br>
function pasuser(form) {<br>
if (form.id.value=="Staff") { <br>
if (form.pass.value=="openstaff") { <br>
location="stafflounge.html" <br>
} else {<br>
alert("Invalid Password")<br>
}<br>
} else { alert("Invalid UserID")<br>
}<br>
}<br>
//--&gt;<br>
&lt;/script&gt;<br>
<br>
&lt;center&gt;<br>
&lt;table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="12" border="1"&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Login<br>
Area&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;UserID:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;form name="login"&gt;&lt;input<br>
name="id" type="text"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Password:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input name="pass"<br>
type="password"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;input type="button" value="Login"<br>
onClick="pasuser(this.form)"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;input<br>
type="Reset"&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt; <br>
<br>
<br>
and i got it from this site

http://javascript.about.com/msub_scripts_passwords.htm?COB=home&terms=Password+Javascripts<br>

If the user just views the source code of the page, doesn't s/he have access to the login and password?&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess it works to keep away pesky peekers that are just browsing.<br><br>-al4k28

Hmm same questoin, any client-side script is always fully exposed to the user, if you want actual security, I'd strongly recomend something like Server side script, CGI,ASP etc. Only thing is tho your webserver must allow you to use server side reasources. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

I agree with the two above - go with the server side.<br>--BUT--<br>if you must use a javascript pass protection, have the login page put the username, and the password in the searchstring of the location.<br><br>then, have the reciving page check the searchstring for a correct username, and password. And if it isn't right, alert, and redirect the user back to the login page. This is more effective. <br><br>I have written one of these scripts, for more information, e-mail me, as I have no notion of where it is at the moment. <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course.
