Passwording Pages

[hungryOrb]

Hello, trying to make a password prompt, which puts the password into the $_GET of an <a> link tag.

Using this, does nothing ;]

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function disp_prompt()
  {
  var name=prompt("Please enter password","")
  if (name!=null && name!="")
    {
    document.getElementById("control").href="control.php?id=\" + name + \"")
    }
  }
</script>

 

If anyone could correct this, or suggest another way, it would be most appreciated..!

 

TiA!

javascript is a great a tool but some things are NOT ment to be done with javascript. especially when it comes to putting a password in a $_GET string youre trying to use an extreme unsafe way if you're going that way might as wel not use a password at all. Use php only for this

Thanks, but safety isn't really important because I'm simply making an in-house database.. It's not open to the web.

If I use PHP, I'll have to use several pages, just to make it work, while with a prompt, I could do it without all that. If a prompt is possible at all that is.. :/
