HTML Page doesn't work

by FioFox September 3rd 2010, 6:16 am

Hi. I'm a begginer in editting HTML. I just created my forum, and on the home page of Administration panel it showed an user's tip: How to make a password protected page https://help.forumotion.com/updates-and-new-features-f1/users-tuesday-tip-create-password-protected-forum-by-master-marc-t76762.htm

I've copied all the codes in this page and replaced on Modules> HTML management. I want to make only a specific part of the forum protected by password. After I'm done with the code, I press preview, and the page works fine, I write the password and it redirects me to the page I want, but when I submit and try to open the same page, it isn't protected by password. I don't know what to do. I'll copy here the HTML code I've made, please someone tell me what's wrong.

Here it goes:

Code:: <html> <head><title>Password</title> </head> <script language="javascript">  </script> <body> <a href="#" onClick="PlanA(); return false">Click Here To Enter Password !</a> </body> </html>

I want the recruitment section and the personal pictures section to be protected by password, and I don't know what to do from now on.

I don't see anything wrong, but i could try remaking the code:

Code:: <script> function checkform(form) { if (form.pass.value != "abc" ) { alert('You have entered wrong Password! Please try again!'); return false; } } </script> <br><br><br><div align="center"> <form method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);" name="password" action="http://solarforum.foro.bz/recruitment-f4/"> <label><input value="Enter Password" name="pass" onclick="if (this.value == 'Enter Password') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter Password';" type="text"></label> <br> <br> <b>Please enter the Password to login!</b><br> <b>(Pass : s0l4r)</b> <br> <br><div align="center"><input name="ok" value="Enter!" type="submit"> </div> </form>

Try that

¨

NOTE: The Password is s0l4r (in lowercases)

I made it using an nice little form, not popup Cool

Thank you! I think it would work, but when I type the password "s0l4r" it says the password is incorrect. What should I do then? Thank you for the help anyways!
I tried setting it, and on the preview the page works, but again when I open the desired page it doesn't ask for a password

OWCH!

Wheeps, the pass is abc, lol!

Try this:

Code:: <script> function checkform(form) { if (form.pass.value != "s0l4r" ) { alert('You have entered wrong Password! Please try again!'); return false; } } </script> <br><br><br><div align="center"> <form method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);" name="password" action="http://solarforum.foro.bz/recruitment-f4/"> <label><input value="Enter Password" name="pass" onclick="if (this.value == 'Enter Password') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter Password';" type="text"></label> <br> <br> <br><div align="center"><input name="ok" value="Enter!" type="submit"> </div> </form>
