hi ... -

var username;

var password;

var user1="cs";

var pass1="42";

username = prompt('Please enter the username for CS Reading Group',' ');

password = prompt('Please enter the password for CS Reading Group',' ');

window.location="incorrect.htm";

}

that should work (which IE-version do you use?) ... but be aware ... everybody can read or change or hack that check on client-side (you may have a look at the source code anytime, and change the page locally) ... you should really do a serverside check ... never, never do this on client-side ...
kind regards

I'm not sure why your code doesn't work in IE6, but in IE7, the developers/designers decided that prompt was dangerous and it no longer works.
It has been badly implemented because if someone does allow the script to run, IE has already blocked it! Then if you refresh the page, it's conveniently forgotten that you've given permission for the script to run. Well done(!)
The solution is to write your own prompt script. If you search for "ie prompt alternative" or similar, you may get a pseudo-solution.

hmmm ... the following example works with my IE6
[HTML]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html>
<head>
<script typ="text/javascript">
<!--
function open_win(form) {
}
var username;
var password;
var user1="cs";
var pass1="42";
username = prompt('Please enter the username for CS Reading Group',' ');
password = prompt('Please enter the password for CS Reading Group',' ');
if ((username==use r1) && (password==pass 1)) {
alert('Welcome to the CS Reading Group! Click OK to Enter!');
} else {
window.location ="incorrect.htm ";
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
test
</body>
</html>
[/HTML]
do you get an error?
kind regards

The only fucked up case, is Firefox.

IE7 does not appear to set an event on contained text inside SPAN elements

Is that so?
