hello,

i can't figure it out, i do exactly what's described in the tutorial, but it does not work.
When i try to login it redirects my to a dropbox (i'm using DropBox) page saying:"error, can not find page". Even when i typed it wrong, and i've set the wrong-password-page to google.co.uk.

i don't get it

please help.

Hi,

if it says page not found found it means that the path specified under

window.open('/sitename/'+username+'.html','_blank');

is wrong. Of course if you use Dropbox to host your site the above path is not right. The path I wrote applies if using a normal host or MobileMe.

I never used Dropbox to host a site nor do I think it's a good so I don't know what the URL of a page is on Dropbox but if you tell me the URL of your page I may be able to help you to adapt the path for it to work.

And if you set

else{
window.location.href ="/sitename/error.html";
}

to

else{
window.location.href ="google.co.uk";
}

then it doesn't work because it has to be http://google.co.uk

my site is: http://www.nicholasfitzhugh.tk

if it helps

http://www.nicholasfitzhugh.tk/ is just a WebForward with cloaking/masking which means it does not allow you to use relative or absolute paths as in the code. Instead you have to use http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10230420/Person ... skyld.html

Hence

window.open('http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10230420/Personlig/sitename/'+username+'.html','_blank');

or similar.

Thnaks i'll try that:)

it worked, but i do have one question.
is there a way to make it so that it doesn't open a new window, but remains in the same?

Instead of _blank in the line above type _top _parent or _self probably the first or the second will do it for you.

hi,

tried it, and _self opened the login form in a new window, and _top_parent just opened the right page, but in a different window.
just to get this straight. Did you mean:
if(usercode == "encrypted usercode" && passcode == "encrypted passcode"){
window.open('http://dl.dropbox.com/u/....html','_self') or
if(usercode == "encrypted usercode" && passcode == "encrypted passcode"){
window.open('http://dl.dropbox.com/u/....html','_top_parent')?

thanks for the help so far

Sorry, looks like I was wrong. Looks like it only works opening in a new window.

Sorry,
Cédric

thanx anyway!

nice website
