var name;

name = prompt('Give your name please:');
if (name != "myname")
{
1.html;

Try:

<!--
The language attribute is not
required and it's use is discouraged
-->
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function loadPage() {
switch( window.prompt('Please enter your name').toLowerCase()) {
case 'fred':
window.location = 'fred/index.html';
break;
case 'jill':
window.location = 'jill/index.html';
break;
case 'bob':
window.location = 'bob/index.html';
break;
case 'amy':
window.location = 'amy/index.html';
break;
default: // Loaded when no match for the entered name is
// found
window.location = 'no_such_name.html';
break;
}
}
</SCRIPT>

I assume that the names will be case-insensitive (hence the call to
toLowerCase()).

You could then call this function on a button press. For example,

<BUTTON type="button" onclick="loadPage()">Load user page</BUTTON>

You could also use an INPUT element instead of a prompt window.

Not sure why...
example:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
Lower case, I believe, is standard.

var name;

name = prompt('Give your name please:');
if (name != "myname")
{
1.html; Change to
top.location="1.html";
}
else
{
2.html;

Change to
top.location="2.html";

So I just disable javascript goto this page and look at the source (or
get the source via one of a multitude of ways that don't evaluate the
javascript). I see "myname". I enable javascript, reload the page, use
the 'secret' "myname" and get to 1.html. Or having seen the source I
just go directly to 1.html

You cannot secure your site with client-side scripting, it needs to be
done server-side. Well, I cannot see a way you could anyway but I bet
someone here will say otherwise.

Nope, can't be done.
Any idiot can view a source.
Anyone with enough free time can figure out a way around client-side
"protection", no matter how obfuscated it is. This has been discussed to
death here.

Best you can do is Flash. That's pretty hard to crack. A person needs to
get the Flash, decompile it, etc.
But it CAN be done.
