I cannot get Firefox to execute this code:

[Mary Ann Gatto]

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
 
 
function enterCheck(b){
    if(b=="PASSWORD")
        {
            window.open("http://hhrlifestyle.org/hello.htm")
 
        }
                else alert("The password is not correct.");
    }
 
//-->
 
 
 
</script>

how do you call the function?

as far as I know, the second parameter in window.open() (the new window’s name) cannot be omitted.

@gits

<input type=password name=code1 size=15>
<input type=button  value="ENTER" onClick="enterCheck(code1.value)"></p>

It works fine in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox.

enterCheck(code1.value)

is wrong ... you might use the following, which retrieves the node and its value correctly:

<input type="password" name="code1" id="foo" size=15>
<input type="button" value="ENTER" onclick="enterCheck(document.getElementById('foo').value)">

basically you should even enclose attribute values in double quotes.

THANK YOU! PROBLEM SOLVED! Looks like I better brush up on my JavaScript calls.

the problem comes from developing in IE first - which often leads to non standards-compliant scripts that will be broken in all other browsers. it is much more to prefer to develop with FF or Chromium/Chrome - and then fix the much more less IE issues that should occur in the end. the other way round it is often required to fix a lot for standards-compliant browsers ...

From what I gather, this script is probably an exercise/tutorial. However, if and when you develop for real, don't use JavaScript to test for passwords. Anyone can quite easily check the source code.
