HTML!!!!! HELP!!!! *head spins*

[APY]

I'm trying to make a pop up window with html that requires a password before it goes away, that is about the size of the browser so no one can see the window, can anyone help!!??

Hmm, I'm sure I can help you, but I want to make sure I get this right. You want to cover the browser window with a password protected popup so you can restrict access to a page?

HAve you considered a password protected page? You could have a whole new page open up after putting in a password. Using cookies you could also redirect people to the password box if they haven't entered the correct password.

With a few more details, or a view of the code, I'm sure I can give you plenty of ideas.

Umm What's to prevent someone from just closing the popup window ?

Or using a popup blocker to prevent the popup in the first place ?

They can't do squat on the page unless the pop up goes away in this case, as in you must put the pass in for you to be able to do anything. Would you like to see the code I used? (the pop up was too small) I decided to add a forum to my site, and do some stuff to lock the threads or something. Thanks allot!

How do you figure? Firefox's popup blocker wouldn't even allow your popup through unless I specifically authorized it.

I'd love to see it.

I might like to still know how though wiggy, what details do you need? Won't allow it to work here, it displays it as a bad language I'll PM it to you.

Ok, looked at you code, it won't work.

1) Java script can be disabled
2) View Source and now your target page is exposed.

Better way would be to use a PHP script.

Or, if your webhosting allows it, password protected directories which use 'htaccess'.

Clicking 'Cancel' on these merely returns 401 UNAUTHORISED from the server (an error condition - like a 404 page).

As for forums, most of them allow you to configure the forums to be password protected anyway. Check your forum settings.

Thanks, I turned out using a forum anyway thank you all for your help!

Well I guess its useless now to post this, but this was a php script i did - probably not super secure but gets the job done. "admin" is just a example password.

<?php
$password = "admin";  // Make a Password
?>

<?php 
  print "<h2 align=\"center\">JREAM FTP [Login]</h2>";
// If password is valid let the user get access
if (isset($_POST["password"]) && ($_POST["password"]=="$password")) {
?>

<?php header('Location: index-2.php'); // This takes to the next page
 ?>

I kinda gave up on it, but found this: http://www.tashian.com/htmlguide/password.html
Thank you very much though.
