    You are doing a comparison to a variable name, not a string. Change it to

    if( usern == "blue" && pw =="bluee"){
  //do stuff
}

    Edit After you comment, I took another look at your code, you need to surround the javascript: logintry() call with quotes. You are correct in using onclick. You need to remove the “javascript:” That is the syntax when you are using href. Onclick will automatically call the script and doesn’t need the protocol prefix.
