crmamx Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have a site designed with 3 frames: top=messages, left=navigation and right=content. All my programs use <base target="content"> so I never open a new window except to link to an outside site. I have a simple password.html program written in javascript and the password is embedded in the program for comparison. I read where this is like no security at all. But no matter what program is displaying on the content.html frame, if you do a view/source from the browser, you always see the same thing, that is the frameset code. So I am wondering where the security issue is. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 If you right-click in the frame, you can select "view frame source" in most browsers. If a value is sent to the client machine, there's a way for the user to get that value, I assure you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmamx Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Oh my gosh! There it is for the whole world to see. Will I ever learn all there is to learn? You people are killing me....haha I am struggling to program adds/changes/deletions to my db and now I have to go study server side validation. One further question. All they would see in the protected area are names, phone numbers and email addresses and for sale/swap. Are there really people out there that look for this to spam emails?

Pikachu2000 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Oh yes. Without a doubt. There are entire industries devoted to harvesting unprotected email addresses so they can sell them or use them to generate spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
