password protection

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 27.2004

Hi guys!
I am facing a “problem”, I am trying to “protect” a page of my site with a java script based password( the password inserted by the user is URL of the protected page), it works, but is very weak, because if the user bookmark the page he can reconnect to the page without using the password.
I am trying to solve this problem with the “window.opener.location”, but it does not work, because if the user try to reconnect using a bookmark the page display an error “‘window.opener.location is null or is not an object’
Can you help me?
Thank you for your attention

@rhsundergroundDec 27.2004 — i HIGHLY recommend that if you really want to use a password to protect your site, use something besides javascript, such as [URL=http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml].htaccess[/URL]

I am sorry, but I am not a JavaScript expert. What is a bookmark routine?

Can you post me an example?

Thank you very much and happy new year.
