Bugimus Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: New California Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 01-04-2001 01:00 bunchapixels has given you a JavaScript way to go to another page. You can also have your page switch to another using a META tag in your header like so: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=other.html"> where the "10" is how many seconds to wait before forwarding and the "URL" is obvious. I hope either bunchapixel's suggestion or this one helps.

Bugimus Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: New California Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 01-04-2001 01:46 Yes, you could do the Javascript one by calling the function with the onLoad trigger in the body tag. That would ensure that your page had loaded before doing the redirect. Whatever you do though, don't redirect to the same page, that would really bite!

what exactly do you mean?
perhaps this is what you want:
have something like this at the tope of your code:
checkuser();

function checkuser() {
var password = ""
var password = prompt('What is the password?','')
if(password.toLowerCase() != 'el_grande') {
window.location="other.html";}
}

i think that should work, if that's what you want...
if that's nothign like what your after, then give us DETAILS!

Yes, you could do the Javascript one by calling the function with the onLoad trigger in the body tag. That would ensure that your page had loaded *before* doing the redirect. Whatever you do though, don't redirect to the same page, that would really bite!
