JS password gate question

[sessomy]

Hi

I'm really new to js programming, so forgive me if this is basic.
I wanted to put a password gate on a page and have found this one:

To go in head section:

<script language="JavaScript">

function PasswordLogin()
{
document.location.href = document.formlogin.password.value + ".htm";
return false;
}


function CheckEnter(event)
{
var NS4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;
var code = 0;

if (NS4)
code = event.which;
else
code = event.keyCode;
if (code==13)
{
PasswordLogin();
event.returnValue = false;
}
}

</script>


To go in body:

<form name="formlogin" onsubmit="PasswordLogin()">
Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="20" onKeyPress="CheckEnter(event)">
<input type="button" value="Login" onclick="PasswordLogin()"></p>
</form>


My question is can anyone tell me how to change this code so that the passworded page opens in a new window!!!?

Its the first time I've tryed the script...... does anyone know of any better ones???

Thanks

change
document.location.href = document.formlogin.password.value + ".htm";

to

WinPop = window.open(document.formlogin.password.value + ".htm");

Thanks Eric.....

That works, but unfortunately the original page.... the one with the script on becomes a HTTP 404 not found page, and the url in the address bar says http://www.mysite.org/[object]

Any more help.... I do want the rest of the site to stay underneath the popup..... that was the whole idea. :)

Thanks

<form name="formlogin" onsubmit="PasswordLogin()">

to
<form name="formlogin" onsubmit="return PasswordLogin()">

Mmm...... it's stiill doing it!!!

:(

[A1ien51]

just chop it to this

<form name="formlogin">

see if that works and get rid of the return false in the function

[sessomy]

It's still doing it!!!!:confused:

[kansel]

try

<form name="formlogin" action="#" onsubmit="PasswordLogin();return false">

[sessomy]

No..... it's still doing the same.

Is this a tricky one???

What browser are you using? Is that all the script and html code that is on the page?

The code on this page works perfectly fine for me in IE, Mozilla, and Opera.

[sessomy]

I've got IE 6.0.

The password gate is fine in itself but after I put the code in to make the password protected page popup in a seperate window
the original page goes to a HTTP 404 not found page.

It may just be my browser.....

Seem's strange though.

Right.... ok.

Can anyone suggest another simple password gate script?

Preferably I want username and password funtions and the password protected page to open in a new window.
