I am trying to password protect a page on my website with the IE Prompt. I can't figure out how to do it so that if they type the wrong password it closes, I only know how to make it close if they type the correct password. Also, the cancel button just takes you the the page, i want that to close the page as well... I'm new to JavaScript so thanks ALOT for your help! Post asap

If that doesn't make sense let me know...

Although most JS password scripts aren't secure and therefore shouldn't be used, this would be your solution in its simplest form

<script type="text/javascript">
var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
if(pass !="pass") {
self.close();
}
else {
window.location.href = "http://forums.webdeveloper.com/";
}
</script>

hey i got that one to work! THANKS ALOT! I APPRECIATE IT... now if you would be willing to show me away for muliple passwords to work... I have a previous login page for usernames, and i would like seperate passwords for each... In my 'terms' something like " IF Password=abc or def" then open whatever... if that makes sense? AGAIN THANKS A TON!:D

Do you mean where to you specify your password?

<script type="text/javascript">
var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
if(pass !="thepassword") {
self.close();
}
else {
window.location.href = "http://forums.webdeveloper.com/";
}
</script>

Change the text in red to whatever you want your password to be.

Then change the text in blue to the URI of the page you want to be forwarded to if the password is correct.

Cheers ;)

Multiple Passwords:

<script>

var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
//change the number, 3, to the number of passwords you want
var passwords = new Array(3)
passwords[0] = "passwd1"
passwords[1] = "passwd2"
passwords[2] = "passwd3"
var correct = 0

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i]) {
//password correct, load page
correct++
}
}

//check if password was correct
if(correct == 0) {
//incorrect, change wrong.htm to bad passwd page
window.location = "wrong.htm"
}
</script>If this is not actually on the member's only page, add the following lines of code:

else {
//correct, change right.htm to member's page
//but only add this line if you need it (you have
//a separate login and member's page)
window.location = "right.htm"
}

WOW! YOUR AWESOME!... one last thing and i am done... i promise! im really picking up on JS... is there any way to make this onLoad instead of onClick??

<BODY>

<center>
<form><input type=button value="Login!" onClick="LogIn()"></form>
</center>

(Sorry I'm not following post rules with that... Don't understand what the PHP thing is! sorry!)

with the method i gave you, you should simply paste at the very top of your page, not inside a function, just as I gave it to you. Therefore, the script will run and redirect if necessary before non-members from seeing the page.

(NOTE: last post was updated several times after original post with potential redirect if correct)

Therefore, just copy the lines of code, and place it at the VERY top of your page, and it should do it before loading!

username[1] = "amanda"
username[2] = "derek"

var passwords = new Array(5)
passwords[0] = "lindsay"
passwords[1] = "amanda"
passwords[2] = "derek"
passwords[3] = "kim"
passwords[4] = "katie"
var correct = 0

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i]) {
//password correct, load page

Try this on for size:

<script>

var user = prompt("Enter Username", "");
var usernames = new Array(5)
username[0] = "lindsay"
username[1] = "amanda"
username[2] = "derek"
username[3] = "kim"
username[4] = "katie"

var iCorrectUser;
for (var i=0; i<username.length; i++)
{
if (username[i])
{
iCorrectUser = i;
break;
}
}
if (!iCorrectUser)
{
window.location = "alert.html";
}
var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
var passwords = new Array(5)
passwords[0] = "lindsay"
passwords[1] = "amanda"
passwords[2] = "derek"
passwords[3] = "kim"
passwords[4] = "katie"
var correct = 0

//check if password was correct
if(pass != passwords[iCorrectUser]) {
window.location = "Alert.html"
}
else {
window.location = "zmembers.html"
}

</script>

Or:

<script>

var user = prompt("Enter Username", "");
var usernames = new Array(5)
username[0] = "user1"
username[1] = "user2"
username[2] = "user3"
username[3] = "user4"
username[4] = "user5"

var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
var passwords = new Array(5)
passwords[0] = "password1"
passwords[1] = "password2"
passwords[2] = "password3"
passwords[3] = "password4"
passwords[4] = "password5"
var correct = 0

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i] && user = username[i]) {
//password correct, load page
correct++
}
}

//check if password was correct
if(correct == 0) {
window.location = "wrong.html"
}
// if not on member's page, add the following lines of code,
//otherwise delete the else { ... { lines
else {
window.location = "members.html"
}

</script>

In steelersfans88's reply, add an "s" to the array username...

usernames[0] = "user1"

Also, add another "=" and an "s" to the following line...

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i] && user = username[i]) {
//password correct, load page
correct++
}
}

Should be...

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i] && user == usernames[i]) {
//password correct, load page
correct++
}
}

I got it working okay after applying the changes I mentioned above. I had the same problems initially. Try this.

<html>
<head>

<script language="javascript">
var user = prompt("Enter Username", "");
var usernames = new Array(5)
usernames[0] = "user1"
usernames[1] = "user2"
usernames[2] = "user3"
usernames[3] = "user4"
usernames[4] = "user5"

var pass = prompt("Enter password", "");
var passwords = new Array(5)
passwords[0] = "password1"
passwords[1] = "password2"
passwords[2] = "password3"
passwords[3] = "password4"
passwords[4] = "password5"
var correct = 0

for(var i=0;i<passwords.length;i++) {
if(pass == passwords[i] && user == usernames[i]) {
correct++
}
}

//check if password was correct
if(correct == 0) {
window.location.href = "leave_page.html"
}else{
window.location.href = "members.html"
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
