Hi

Can anybody help me with this little problem i have?

Its just a sort of password protectd html page.

new to scripting,so give me a chance.

Basically i have a enter username/password page.

if you dont enter a name or a password it takes you to a please try again page, the same if you get both fields wrong, but if you get it right it also takes you to the try again page.

username and password refer to a seperate html page of both names with an _ inbetween. i.e myname_mypassword.html would be correct.

the code.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function checkuser()

{
var user = document.login.user.value
var password = document.login.password.value
if (user == "" || password == "")
{
var doc = "retry.html"
this.location.href = doc
}
if (doc !== user + "_" + password + ".html")
{
var doc = "retry.html"
this.location.href = doc
}
else
{
var doc = user + "_" + password + ".html"
this.location.href = doc
}
}

</SCRIPT>

function called up with a submit button.

Thanks for any help upfront.

FruitBeard,

It seems to me that you are using JavaScript as a security feature for your website. This is a very bad idea becuase anyone can view the source of the code and find out exactly what the password is.

What you should do is use a server side language such as ASP or PHP for your login feature. It is very simple to do and is a million times more secure.
