RUNNING SCRIPT AFTER PWORD ENTERED

[rry2k]

Hi,
I need to know how to get the jscript portion of this code to run only after a password is entered. As it stands now it runs automatically.

Thanks..Russ

<tr> <td align=&quot;right&quot; nowrap><font face=&quot;arial&quot; size=&quot;-1&quot;>SSN</font></td>
<td><input name=&quot;passwd&quot; type=&quot;password&quot; size=&quot;17&quot; maxlength=&quot;32&quot; value=&quot;&quot;></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Sign In&quot;></td>
</tr>
</table>
<script language = &quot;JavaScript&quot;>
pass = document.form1.passwd.value
document.write(pass);
</script>
</BODY>
</html>

You need to put the code in a function, and call the function via onSubmit in the form tag (which you don't seem to have):

function checkLogin() {
pass = document.form1.passwd.value
document.write(pass);
}
...
<form name=&quot;myform&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;...&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return checkLogin()&quot;>

yeah.. but what would document.write() do? ) Victor

Thanks.. unfortunately that didn't work. when I type in the password and hit submit I get:

file:///H:/My%20Documents/test.htm?login=test&passwd=rest
in the address window.

vituz: I don't know what the document.write was intended to do, but he asked how to get it to run on submission rather than on loading, and I think I answered that.

rry2k: It appears you have another problem in your code as well. Can you post more of it? Tracy Dryden

Tracy,

I just did a new post a few minutes ago. The code is now in a function but there is another problem.

Thanks..Russ

</tr>
</table>
</form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = &quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function LogIn(){
var username = document.form1.UserId.value;
var password = document.form1.passwd.value;
var page = username;
page += password;
page += &quot;.htm&quot;;
window.location.href = page;}
</script>
</BODY>
</html>

When I run this I get: document.form1.userid is null or not an object.

thx Russ

Tracy i meant that document.write(), when putted into the function would overwrite the hole page..

but looks like Russ has another problem..

Russ, do you still have a problem?
you see, if your form is using get method then you can't put anything location.href after form submission (there would be something like page.htm?UserId=jobs&passwd=rthfd , you know..)

and about your error message:

if you get exactly what you posted here (document.form1.userid ..) then you should notice that your password field is named UserId (i tryed the code you posted here & it worked without any errors, but the way i described below)

Victor,
You said you got this to work with the way you described below. Can you give me the code again. I don't see it here.

Thanks alot..Russ

 

[baad]

my english is bad.. i meant above i.e.
you'll get this in address bar:
page.htm?UserId=jobs&passwd=rthfd where page.htm - your form's action.. if you would use your code

but you've been answered right in other thread Victor

Victor,

Thanks for the help.
