How to password protect your HTML web page
So, let’s say you want to password-protect a webpage. An example of this is the patrons-access page on David Di Franco’s site .
Here we’ll present you the easiest method on how to do this (without special graphics):
1. Start your .html document with <html> <head> tags
2. Find a title for it with the <title> tag ex. Authenticate
3. Use this script:
” <script language=”Javascript”>
var password=prompt(“YourPasswordHere”);
{ location=”nameofthepageforthecorrectpassword.html”}
else { location=”nameofthepageforawrongpassword.html”}
</script>”
4. Enter the tag </head> to finish the head
5. Insert <body> tag for the browsers that don’t support Javascript
6. Write some text like “update your browser” or something else.
7. Close the tag </body>
8. Close the tag </html>
Your final code should look like this:
“<html>
<head>
<title> Authenticate </title>
<script language=”Javascript”>
var password=prompt(“YourPasswordHere”);
{ location=”nameofthepageforthecorrectpassword.html”}
else { location=”nameofthepageforawrongpassword.html”}
</script>
<body>
Your browser is unsupported, update it if you want to get this page working
</body>
</html>
PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR FILE WITH THE EXTENSION “.html”(Sorry for the caps =] )
