I've created a web site with 2 pages using Front Page. The second page is a team roster with pictures. I only want the parents to be able to view. On the first page I've created a password textbox with an Enter button. I would like a parent to enter the password, click Enter and if they entered the correct password go to the second page. If not then give an error message. There will only be one password that I will give to the parents so it won't be necessary to keep track of different passwords. Being that this is my first time designing a web page I don't know the code to make this happen. Can someone please help me with the code? Thanks

It sounds like you need php and javascript also for your password script? Do you like want to password protect some pages? Or what?

[overule]

it is not secure when using javascript to protect yr site. any users can view the source and look at the password.

a php version is more like it.(phpaccess is a good one using .htacess and .htpasswd)

unless u encrypt yr html code,even that can be easily decode using a program download from site

good luck

i would say .htaccess is the best choice. i use that for scripts i make and depending on which host u go to, they will have a option to make a .htaccess folder via admin panel which is ezr.

most popular control panel allow users to protect their directory using .htacess

CPANEL=>the best

my frens and i are going to leave the school ( sad )

hmm well then i know a quick code in php that might help:

PHP Code:

<?

$password = "whatever";



if ($password == "$password"){



header("Location: http://mysite.com/secret.php");

}

else{

echo "sorry wrong pasword, please try again";

}

?>

try that i think that will work

But wouldn't that mean that anyone who accessed http://mysite.com/secret.php would get to the page that the webmaster would want to protect?

I am having a similar problem: at the moment I have a games page on my website and (because I am a little unfamiliar with PHP, can only do variable assignment in address bar) i have a javascript that, on submission of the form, makes the url /index.php?page=games/thepassword so that it can include the thepassword.html file from the "games" directory.

Is there any way, therefore, that I can have a page at /index.php?page=games or /index.php?page=games/index that will have completely different content from what the user does? At first approach (or if not logged on for more than 5 mins) it will be a password gate, and if already authenticated, it will be the games menu page?

Thanks for your help

well what i did was a very very very simple protect script.

you can add like:

PHP Code:

if ($rank == "admin"){

//admin powers

}

elseif ($rank == "Member"){

//member powers

}

else{

include "login.php";

} 

then you would have to make a process file. if you want more help, you can either im or pm me
