hide password in the source code

[velious]

I am trying to make just a simple page that asks for a password before taking the user to the site... the script I am using is a script I found on this site, and It works great however all someone has to do is look in the source code for the password...it kinda defeats the purpose..any suggestions?

You could do this:

Make the javascript a .js file and call it like so

<script language="javascript" src="thescript.js">
</script>

You could instead encrypt the password with SHA-1 or MD5 (see http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ for JavaScript libraries of these functions).
