Jan 23.2008

Does any one know how to make a form box that could redirect my users to their pages using this format … i want to make a box where my users can just type their last six digits of their ssn to get to their personal employee pages…. here is what i’m talking about.

You can access your individual page directly by simply
inserting the [COLOR=”red”]last six digits of your social security number[/COLOR] where the
red #’s are in the example.

[url]http://www.test.com/[/url][COLOR=”Red”]######.[/COLOR]html

@ryanbutlerJan 23.2008 — Can't be done with HTML alone. You need to be very careful how you store SSN. At the very least, you need to store them on a database server, behind a firewall, that only certain people have access to, encrypting them might not be a bad idea, but that might not be necessary.

When you let people sign in using that, you must have them login and view this information over a secure connection, otherwise, it should be out of the question.

Once these two matters are solved, then you need to look into a server-side method to query a database table and then display results from that. You should never display SSN via an address bar, that is way to easy to a malicious attacker to comprise.

@shibbyziggaauthorJan 23.2008 — We arent storing ssn's ... we just created pages using 6 digits of the ssn ... the pages themselves arent part of the navigational site. This still doesn't answer my question as to how to make this procedure work. But thanks for the feedback reguardless. ?

@TheBearMayJan 23.2008 — It will take a wee bit of javascript:

<i>
</i>&lt;input type="text" onchange="document.location='http://www.test.com/'+this.value+'.html'" /&gt;
×

Success!
