Why doesn't this work, please?

Code:

<!--
var passWord;
prompt ( "What is the password?","");
(passWord == "pass" ) ? alert("Verified"): alert("Incorrect
password");
//-->

</script>

dee1810,

Instead of...

prompt ( "What is the password?","");

Try

passWord = prompt ( "What is the password?", "");

In addition - you have the script code in a comment - so it won't run.

A small point: <script language = is deprecated - use <script type =. (This won't stop it from working in FF though).

Harry.

 

Try creating an ASP page and using this, or something like it...

Code:

<%
Username="USER"
Password="PASSWORD"
' if any of the variables do not match, create error message
if Request.Form("login") <> Username or Request.Form("password") <> Password then
    MsgErr = "<h3>You are not logged in</h3>"
    Response.Write MsgErr
    ' if correct, set the session variable and proceed
Else
    Session("someStringValue") = true
    ' redirect
    If Len(Request("requester")) > 0 Then
        Response.Redirect (Request("requester"))
    Else
        Response.Redirect "protected.asp"
    End if
End if
%>

 

Hey

Thanks Guys.
JonnyMX- oh, wow. That looks very tricky.. i'll get my head on before I struggle with that

Harry- About the comments.. I know what you mean, but I understood that the comments aren't like HTML comments that aren't visible when the page loads into a browser, but the comments in JavaScript are purely for browsers that are not JavaScript -enabled. Plus, I didn't realise that script language is deprecated Cheers

r h Lee. Thank You.. I can see your hint will work...Cheers again.
