Passwod Requirement Javascript

[++ Misery Bless]

Could someone post a code here that will require a user to enter a password and username to view a certain page?

(I want to protect a page on my website (not proboards), and I want to make the password "user" and the password "protected" and once they enter the information into the prompt box, the viewer will be able to see the page).

Thanks ^O^!

You don't want to do this with Javascript because all they have to do is disable Javascript or modify the source and remove the code.

I've actually fixed the javascript disablng problem

(Try disabling Javascript on: hamarua.proboards.com/ . I was planning to copy the same thing on that website, and put it on my other one incase people tried to disable javascript. What is the other problem though?)

I've never heard of source editing.

(edit: Please bare mind, I am the only person who has access the code .

Thanks Jordan ^^!

Edit: Oh... I see. "View Source" would show them the password. Hmm.. have any suggestions for me then ^^?

Do you have support for active content on your site? (i.e. PHP or ASP?) Because that would be the best approach. If not you can give some of these a try:

javascript.internet.com/passwords/ (Some of them are actually quite good for Javascript password protection)

And it looks to be affecting the ads at the bottom of the site as well.
You may want to look into getting that fixed.

There is no safe JavaScript protection against content. You'll need PHP, or else the data can be viewed by a user.

However, it just popped into my head of using encryption/decryption to store the data, using the username/password to encrypt/decrypt. I just don't know of what encryption function to use for that, and it would be a pain in the arse to encrypt the data on every update.

yes i know its not fool proof, but ive made one and what to know if he wants it.

I can view any content on your site even if i disable javascript all i have to do is view the source

on any proboards site you can disable the javascript by typing &NOHEADERS on the end of the URL. you should really use php.

Oh wow. That's true. Not even CSS hides (wrapping the content in a hidden div) would stop NOHEADERS. Unless the hidden content was in the headers/footers, but NOHEADERS would certainly prevent anyone from hiding the forums themselves. I never realized that.

the only workaround you could do on a proboards forum is by creating a password protected board or a board for only certain types of members. you can give access to members depending on either their rank (post count) or class (admin, mod, gmod, etc).
