    Hey peeps... was wondering if any of you could help. I once had this nice little password script, it was very simple, and easy to set it, it allowed for multi user's, and page re-direction for each user, and it got you to put this small bit of script into each page that was "secured", so that if you tried to view the page in ur history without logging in, it would take u back to the login page...

    I'm not sure if it was ASP, DHTML, CGI, or whatever, it was over a year ago I think, and I have searched my usual sources for it, but with no luck... can anyone help? even with a simlar script.

    TAN KU

    is the original password stored in a database?
    Is the authentication system based on session variables or stored on a cookie on the users machine?
    The choice of server side 'language' is important. It was not DHTML (if it was then don't touch it!). If your site is destined for a unix server then you will be dependant on php or cgi more than likely whereas if you are using a Microsoft server then go with ASP.
    Search Google as there 100 million and 1 versons of this code out there to suit your needs.

    Man, chillout, I used the word simple there, I'm not dealing in millions here, or even pennys, this is just a stupid lil script, its only function is to make a board of directors feel important enough to have a username and password to access a lil info part of a site, and the only reason I want it is cos I can direct to different pages... This script was about 20 lines in total... its nothing, you would protect a thing with it, and i dont need to...... the passwords where stored in the feckin login page's HTML, its that feckin simple. remember SIMPLE!!! STUPID!!! But it suits my needs and can't find it or another like it.

    No no, it's much appricated, just a lil over board... I admire your enthusiasm... But honest to god, this script couldn't secure ur pants up, let alone a site, its just a lil script that allows access to different pages on a site, it was a nice lil script cos it was v.easy to set up, and as much as forth-knocks would come in handy, its too much for something so small.

    So if you have any ideas, it would be great to hear from any of you.

    Thanks for your help.

    So it's probably some form of javascript that you pop up a box asking username and password, and depending on the username and correct password, call document.location() to send him to a new document.

    yeah, but you see, being directors, they're fussy, one said they hated pop up "windows" and I tried to explain that is aint a window, is a box askin for ur details, but they didnt wana listen, and now none of them want a pop up box... I know, u dont have to say it, but hey, u gota give em what they want.

    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

    <!-- Begin
    function Login(){
    var done=0;
    var username=document.login.username.value;
    username=username.toLowerCase();
    var password=document.login.password.value;
    password=password.toLowerCase();
    if (username=="member1" && password=="password1") { window.location="page1.html"; done=1; }
    if (username=="member2" && password=="password2") { window.location="page2.html"; done=1; }
    if (username=="member3" && password=="password3") { window.location="page3.html"; done=1; }
    if (done==0) { alert("Invalid login!"); }
    }
    // End -->
    </SCRIPT>

    <!-- STEP TWO: Paste this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

    <BODY>

    <center>
    <form name=login>
    <table width=225 border=1 cellpadding=3>
    <tr><td colspan=2><center><font size="+2"><b>Members-Only Area!</b></font></center></td></tr>
