[Year 12 IT Apps] Front Page Question - Javascript

[David Dawson]

Hi
Sorry to be a pain - but that is actually JavaScript - not Java - the
two languages are completely different. Students should actually know
them as different languages IMHO!
JavaScript is client side and works with HTML - processed in the Browser
it is basically a scripting language allowing local processing (and is
not an allowed language in Software Devt 3/4)
Java - only works in web apps as Applets - and is server side - it may
be linked to databases and is permitted as a language in Software Devt
3/4.
There are a couple of programming CDs available from VITTA with
tutorials in both languages.
regards
David Dawson

One of my kids used a simple java password script in their Dreamweaver
SAC -
just pasted it into the HTML script - worked a treat!

I have attached it - hope it helps you

Hi Kevork, thanks for the response but unless I misunderstand you, you
are
referring to network management stuff. I can do that at the server (or
at
least I could when I was a system manager, but not now..). My question
relates to creating a secure page entry for the web site that students
need
to create for OC2.
ie, they create a link to a page on their site, it asks for a password
and
then, after correct entry of the password they can enter that link.
All ideas
