Object Expected

57 New Member
Hi,

I am trying to create my own login script and I am new to javascript.

I have created it in an external file and when I use it on the page I get the Object Expected error on line 13 char 1 could anyone help me please.

Here is a copy of the code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!--
  2. function login(){
  3. pass = password
  4. user = username
  5. log1 = document.security.username.value
  6. log2 = document.security.password.value
  7. if ( log1==user&&log2==pass ){
  8. window.location="success.htm";
  9. }
  10. else {
  11. window.location="fail.htm";
  12. }
  13. }
  14. // -->
Thnx in advance

Please use CODE tags when posting code. Thanks.

First things first: never use Javascript for login. It's too easy for someone to view the source and see the username and password.

Coming to your problem, perhaps password and username should be strings: "password" and "username" respectively.

Hi, Is there a standard for the global 'window' object in browsers? For example, it supports methods such as setInterval and clearInterval, and several others. I know that w3c standardized several parts of the DOM, but this does not include the window object. Thank you

Hello, there were times when I used to be looking for a way to access JavaScript Global object similar to those found in VBScript or PHP ($GLOBALS). At present this has only academic value for me. I was doing research on JavaScript inheritance recently (simplifying it in particular) and after reading 10.1.1, 10.1.3 and some other sections of ECMA262 I got a hint on accessing global object from different than global scope.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
