Javascript Frames - Opening From Input Box

[djdon2000]

I want to build apage with 3 frames.

Frame 1 will contain a box to enter a userID
Frame 2 & 3 will open pages dependent on the userID entered

The URL for the pages I want to appear in Frames 2 & 3 contain the userID

I want frames 2 and 3 to refresh when the userID is entered in the box on Frame 1 and the button pressed.

I am confident with HTML, however am only in the process of learning javascript and need to put this together ASAP.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thnx, Don

you know that if you have a user ID in JavaScript, there is absolutely NO securtiy at all... just a warning. Anyone could easily just look at the source code and check for names and passwords.

try the following for some password protection stuff...

http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/

The best ones are those with the non-reversable password protection... But you would be much better off with an SSSL and a database than with js.

Format I've found useful for working with frames.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function selectpage(id)
{ if(id==&quot;userid1&quot
{ LoadFrame(&quot;default_page1.htm&quot;, &quot;frame1&quot;
}
else
{ LoadFrame(&quot;default_page2.htm&quot;, &quot;frame2&quot;
}
}
function LoadFrame(page, frame)
{ testing.action = page;
testing.target = frame;
testing.submit();
}
</script>

<form method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;testing&quot;>
<frameset rows=&quot;10%,45%,45%&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;SelectItem.htm&quot; name=&quot;frame0&quot; id=&quot;frm0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;Yes&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
</frame>
<frame src=&quot;blank.htm&quot; name=&quot;frame1&quot; id=&quot;frm1&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;No&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
</frame>
<frame src=&quot;blank.htm&quot; name=&quot;frame2&quot; id=&quot;frm2&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;No&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
</frame>
</frameset>
</form>


--SelectItem.htm--

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
parent.selectpage(document.userid.value);
</script>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;userid&quot;>
