Hi I already have a code on a web page that if you click on that link it asks for a password. However what I would liek to also do is have a password on a page for example.


If someone found the page via a search engine if they clciked on that link it would ask for a password. Or if they knew the exact URL it would ask for a password before openign the page. Is there some simple Javascript for this or do I need to use CGI?


I am not a JavaScript expert!!



Thanks

Do you want this for a page or for a folder?

If you want this for a folder there are simple standard solutions which should be provided with your server host. If you want it for a page and you want it secure, I would use a page generating language, e.g. PHP. A combination of javascript and PHP is by far the best language to program something like this with.

Is it somehing that needs programming or is it something I can copy and paste and just change  the password in the code. I am a complete novice at web design and have hardly any knowledge. I am scrap by changing basic Javascript in relation to colours and stuff.

Any links to these codes much apprecaited.

Technically speaking, JavaScript isn't the best way to perform password checks. Something like PHP, ASP or Perl would better (ie, server side password checking). JavaScript runs on the client (in the browser) so the person can see the password checking code and possibly hack it if they so wished. Anyway, have a look here for a JavaScript example :
