Password Protect a Page Script Help

[isamarlow]

Hi - I have this login script but I would like to have the prompt "incorrect password" with buttons to retry or cancel and only upon cancel would I like it redirect to "jpass2.htm"

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--hide
var password=prompt('Enter the password:','');
var mypassword="cool";
if (password==mypassword)
{
window.location="jex11.htm";
}
else
{
window.location="jpass2.htm";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

I'm new to javascript, sorry if this seems really simple.

Hello dude ,

Well heres probably what you want -

<script>
<!--
function startpass() {
var a = prompt("Enter the password:","Password here")
if (a=="cool") {
window.location="jex11.htm"}
else {
startpass2()}
}

function startpass2() {
var cd = confirm("Incorrect Password.\nDo you wish to try again \?")
if (cd==false) {window.location="jpass2.htm"}
else {startpass()}
}
//-->
</script>

Well report back and your welcome

Let's see anyone say that's invalid !!!

Huh, that's one heck of a lot of overkill.

<script type="text/javascript">
  do {
    if(prompt("Enter the password:") === "cool")
      window.location.href = "jex11.htm";
  } while(confirm("Wrong password.  Try again?"));
  window.location.href = "jpass2.htm";
</script>

Note that this isn't at all secure, since anyone can look in your source and find the password, or even just find the URL and go there directly.
If you want a more secure client-side solution, see my script, but your best bet will always be a server-side script.

/EDIT: Cross-posted, sorry pcbrainbuster.

Let's see anyone say that's invalid !!!

It is: you're missing the type attribute on the <script> tag.

Grrr twey is back !!!

And its not overkill !!!

Have you considered doing this server side (ie with php)? It's much more secure, as no one get get you password by looking at the source.

I could help you do that if you want.

Even posting three times to respond is overkill.

As your server-side script for a password you can use .htaccess
