Javascript Session Variable Question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 02.2008

I have a link to a website. say [url]www.test1.php[/url]. When I click on this link, it prompts me for a username, password. On entering the login info, it takes me to the home page say [url]www.test1home.php[/url].

Now on this home page, there is another link, say [url]www.test2.php[/url].

Now, once I am logged in to the home page,I need not enter the username, password information for [url]www.test2.php[/url]. It should directly take me to the page.

How do I accomplish this in Javascript????
The login info for both the links is the same.

Please help ASAP……

Thanks
Harsha

@LeeUSep 02.2008 — If you look at the scripts you will see that it doesn't need to be passed from one page to another. The way you stated it, you would login, and that's it, once the password is accepted, it redirects to the index page. When you come to the next page after the login, you just click on the link.

I tried, but unsuccessful.

After loggin in, I click on the link and it asks me again for the username and password.

I am a new programmer. Could you please.... send me some hints on the code

On how to do this??

@Jeff_MottSep 03.2008 — Hi neerajad_99. Check the link below if you want truly secure JS password protection.

Using the above method, if you want to keep the user logged in, you'd have to set a cookie containing the encryption key, and on other pages, check for that cookie value first.

Success!
