password protecting a shadowbox function. Please help

[luteke]

Hi,

so the page is

http://blackpaint.co.uk/BlackPaint09/films/

if you click on 'Tide' you can see the password prompt appears. But the problem I am having is that even if you press cancel or do the wrong password a few times it still open up the shadow box.


This is the script for the password protection

var getPass = function(el){
  var ct = 3, thePrompt = 'Please Enter Your Password', theDefault = ' ', pw = '';
  while(ct-- && pw !== 'pass'){
    pw = prompt(thePrompt, theDefault);
    if(pw === null){ ct = 0; }
    thePrompt = 'Password Incorrect, Please Try Again';
    theDefault = 'Password';
  }
  if(pw === 'pass'){
    Shadowbox.open(el);
  }
  return false;
};

This is an example of how a working (non shadowbox) version works successfully.

I would really appreciate some help with this,
thanks,
Luke

p.s. - I know the protection is very low - I don't care if people can find it in the code - that is not important.

I expect that the shadowbox code is being attached to the link, and is being run independently of your code.

You need to read the shadowbox docs to find a way of disabling the functionality on that link and then re-enabling it when the password is correct.

Hope this helps,
Dan
