password script not working in IE7

[robcolesdrawtheline]

I have set up a javascript on the home page of:
http://www.translease.com.au
The idea is to access the page required (a flash calculator) when you click button a dialogue box opens and a password is required (the password is the same name as the html file.
It's low level security but it works in Safari, Firefox, netscape but not in IE7??
Password dialogue did not come up but an alert message can't find page.
The page address was in the same folder as the page required but the file name was null.html instead of the requiredname.html.
Can anyone help me with this or do you need more info.

Post the code you used.
P.S Moving to the Javascript forum because Java != Javascript.

Here is the script:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--
function check() {
// Prompt user for the password ...
    pwd = prompt('Enter password before continuing','');
 
    location.href = 'http://www.translease.com.au/calculate/' + escape(pwd) + '.html';
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
 

Here is html:

[HTML] <p><FORM class="pad" >
<INPUT class="login" type="Button" onClick="check()" value="Quick Calculator Login">
</FORM>
</p>
[/HTML]Here is URL:
http://www.translease.com.au/

I've merged your threads. Please do not double post. Your thread had already been moved to the JavaScript forum.

Also, remember to enclose your code in code tags. See How to Ask a Question. Thanks!

This is a problem with IE7 that prompt has been disabled by default. Either enable it for yourself (but that wouldn't solve the problem for your users) or create your own prompt. There are some examples you can find on the net.

By the way, P.S. means Postscript.

P.S. you shouldn't be using JavaScript for password scripts. ;)
