How to access nested array value?

Help with password protect on Dreamweaver....?

  • Hi I am in urgent need of some help and would love it if someone could tell me how to do the following.... I have a website of which about 20 pages needed to be protected by a password. I have used the script below to create the log on page, but how do I make sure that the pages which are protected cannot be directly accessed by someone simply typing the url into the address bar? In other words how do I write into the script on each page that unless they have already entered the password they cannot gain access??? HERE IS THE SCRIPT I HAVE USED: (I have the JavaScript in an external file.) HTML code (login.html): <html> <head> <title>Please type your Username and Password... </title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="login.js"></script> </head> <body bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <form> <br> <center> Username: <input type="text" name="username" style="background:#bfbfbf;color:#212121;… onFocus="this.style.background = '#ffffff';" onBlur="this.style.background = '#bfbfbf';"> <br> Password: <input type="password" name="password" style="background:#bfbfbf;color:#212121;… onFocus="this.style.background = '#ffffff';" onBlur="this.style.background = '#bfbfbf';"> <br> <input type="button" value="Login" onClick="Login(this.form);" style="background:#bfbfbf;color:#000000;… onMouseOver="this.style.color = '#404040';" onMouseOut="this.style.color = '#000000';" onFocusr="this.style.color = '#404040';" onBlur="this.style.color = '#000000';"> </center> </form> </body> </html> External JavaScript code (login.js): <!-- Begin function Login(form) { username = new Array("u1","u2","u3","u4","u5","u6","u7"… password = new Array("p1","p2","p3","p4","p5","p6","p7"… page = "secretpage" + ".html"; if (form.username.value == username[0] && form.password.value == password[0] || form.username.value == username[1] && form.password.value == password[1] || form.username.value == username[2] && form.password.value == password[2] || form.username.value == username[3] && form.password.value == password[3] || form.username.value == username[4] && form.password.value == password[4] || form.username.value == username[5] && form.password.value == password[5] || form.username.value == username[6] && form.password.value == password[6] || form.username.value == username[7] && form.password.value == password[7] || form.username.value == username[8] && form.password.value == password[8] || form.username.value == username[9] && form.password.value == password[9]) { self.location.href = page; } else { alert("Either the username or password you entered is incorrect.\nPlease try again."); form.username.focus(); } return true; } // End --> THANKS!!!

  • Answer:

    Unfortunately you can't really do it like that, because anyone can just look at your code and see you are going to secret.html You have to use a language like php where the code is executed on the server, not the client. It's not too difficult to find a tutorial for php online, why not give it a try?
