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.
