Please help newbie

[CRuser89]

Hello,

I am very new to javascript and vb. There is a piece of code that I need to change. It's basically a menu for an application called menu.asp. I need to check the condition so that when a certain user logs in, for example user1, it will display what i have below. But if it's user2 or user3, the forum link shouldn't display. How can I set a condition for this in javascript? Or would I have to do it w/the vb code? Can someone give me an example? I know I'm being very vague since I'm new to all this coding. Please let me know what other info you need.

Thanks in advance

Do this check server-side (not client-side using javascript). Maybe the helpful chaps over at forum333 or forum855 can help.

Cheers,

Yes, if you want user2 and user3 to have no access to user1's information at all, you need to _not_ send it to the client. Almost everyone knows about "View Source."
