Please not that I fully understand this is a dumb ass idea, but its not my idea.

We need to deter people visiting a certain page on our site. It’s written in ASP and I don’tknow ASP! Can anyone tell me how I can have a pop up box load when the URL is visited where by people have to enter a username / password.

The user name / password should be stored in the javascript.

(Yes I know)

The only real requirement is that this happen anytime the page is loaded and it stays on that page.

So the page is test.asp – javascript pops up they enter credentials and if right remain on test.asp

Thanks

    When you say ASP I assume you mean pre .NET. If so then I think a small change to the VB/HTML in the page would be better. Of course this is only an example and not a very secure one at that – but still it is a little better than a plain JS solution.

    Example – thenameofthepage.asp

    <%

needAuthentication = True

If Request.Form.Count > 0 Then 
    If Request.Form("username") <> "jon" Or Request.Form("password") <> "secret" Then
        ' Redirect to another URI
        Response.Redirect("/")
        Response.End
    End If
    needAuthentication = False
End If

%>
<html>
<body>
<%

If needAuthentication Then

%>
<form method="post" action="thenameofthepage.asp">
  <div>Username: <input type="text" name="username" /></div>
  <div>Password: <input type="text" name="password" /></div>
  <div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>
</form>
<%

Else

%>
<p>Page content here</p>
<%

End If

%>
</body>
</html>
