Restricting access to a webpage without agreeing to a consent form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi Guys. I have a basic javascript form set up where the visitor agrees to terms and conditions before proceeding to the next page which is named testing.htm. All good there. The problem is that I don’t want visitors going directly to the testing.htm page without first accepting the T&C. I am a very basic coder and am better at the deign side of thing so any help greatly appreciated.

@LanceauthorApr 16.2008 — Thanks Ray. Are there any tutorials you know of that might be able to step me through it?

@ray326Apr 16.2008 — Search for "cookie" in combination with whatever server side language(s) you're using.

Actually another way to do it would be to use a form action on the first page to get to the second via a post. On the second page you'd check for some field passed in by the form. Again, the mechanisms are based on the coding language. I can do it with Java/JSP quite easily. Perl/CGI would be pretty simple, too. Of course these are all fairly simplistic and a determined visitor will be able to work around them if he really wants to. The vast majority won't.

Success!
