Password input box

codeex

I have a password input box and i want to make it so when they type in a password say such as "show" it would go to another page. i want a basic solution and i dont need it encrypted.

Assuming this "password box" is part of a form, you simply put the page you want to go to in the "action" value.

<form action="yourpage.html">
<p>
<input type="password">

That's where programming comes in. You need either client side authentication using javascript or server side authentication with any number of programming languages. Server side, of course, is more secure.

Then ask on the javascript board.

Actually, you probably want to do both server side and client.

Also, HTML is not a server side scripting language. HTML and Javascript can be seen by the client (anyone who surf's to your page). A server side language is PHP, ASP etc....

i got a password script you might like, it is EXTREMELY versitaile (sp?), and i will be more than happy to send it to you. It works like a charm, however, its not encrypted or anything, its just an external *.js file. PM me if you want it. =]

Sincerely,
