Ingolme Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Password protecting something with Javascript is completely pointless because people can view the source code.Problems in your code: window.document.location.href = <'index.htm'>; < and > are operators and the way you're using them here does not make sense."location" is a child of the window object, not the document object. <link rel="stylesheet" language="text/css" href="index.css"/> There is no attribute language for the <link> element. <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" onclick="runscript()"> You are not handling the submit event, therefore when you click the submit button the page is going to reload.
