Hey!

I am getting really lost with vbscript! I am trying to make a script that is probably quite simple.

I want a password box to be displayed. If the correct password is entered, then it runs a hta file, if the incorrect password is entered then it runs another hta file.

I am happy if the password is embedded within the script as I never want to change it.

Can anyone help me?!

Hi PHV,

Thank you for responding. I'm a complete day 1 n00b to this!
So far I have the box! I have the text that you enter masked, but am really struggling with getting the text that is entered to be checked, let alone call up another file.
I've been searching all morning for advice! Any tips or resources that you can offer would be gratefully received.

Please post your code. It is much easier to understand exactly what your problem is with the code to look at.

OK!!!

This is probably way off, but like I said before I am a total n00b! I have been trying to find a way round it, and I am not expecting any of you to do the work for me!! If you could just point me in the right direction then you would have helped enormously!

Here is what I have got:


<html>
<head>

<title>IM&T System Rebuilder</title>

<hta:application
id="MyApp"
applicationName=""
border="thick"
borderStyle="normal"
caption="yes"
contextMenu="yes"
icon=""
innerBorder="yes"
maximizeButton="yes"
minimizeButton="yes"
navigable="no"
scroll="yes"
scrollFlat="no"
selection="yes"
showInTaskBar="yes"
singleInstance="no"
sysMenu="yes"
version="1.0"
windowState="normal"
>
</head>

<body>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
<script language="VBScript">
if (form.user.value=="Technician"&&form.password.value=="test999"){location="build.hta"}
else{
alert("Access Denied")
}
</script>

<center>
<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="10" border="1" width="296">
<tr><td colspan="2" width="280" ><center><b>Please Login</b>
</center></td></tr>
<tr><td width="106"><b><font size="2">User Name:</b></td><td width="150"><form name="login-form"><input
name="user" type="text" size="20"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="106"><b><font size="2">Password:</font></b></td><td width="150"><input name="password"
type="password" size="20"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="106"><center><input type="button" value="Login"
onClick="login(this.form)"></center></td><td width="150"><center><br><input
type="Reset"></form></td></tr></table></center>
</font>

</body>
</html>

Ahh! OK!
Is there a VB equivalent then? I've been through the MS website and cannot find anything that may help.?

Cheers

[1] Is that what we call on-hand/on-the-job training? Be careful of its fallacy. You don't do many types of things at day-1, even for a relatively less hostile and more intuitive language like vbs, for good reason for whatever method of learning. Else it is counter-productive and one has to unlearn many imaginary conclusions later.

[2] This is how you salvage the script, if you want to.
