Hello All,

I'm new to javascript so I decided to make a login page. (Kinda bad login page-I'm sure there is an easier way but still).

The code is:

<script type="text/javascript">

var choice=prompt ("Enter 1 if you need to sign up. Enter 2 if you 


need to sign in.");


if (var == 1)

{

var firstName=prompt ("What is your First Name?");

var secondName=prompt ("What is your Second Name?");

var userNameForSignUp=prompt ("What is your Username (for this 


site)?");

var passWordForSignUp=prompt ("What is your Password (for this 


site)?");

alert ("Thank You")+firstName;

document.write ("Your details are secured.")

}


else 

{

var userName=prompt ("What is your Username (for this site)?");

var passWord=prompt ("What is your Password (for this site)?");


if (userName == userNameForSignUp)

}

alert ("Welcome! Head to the link displayed on the page.");

document.write ("(Well, whatever the sites address is)")

}

</script>

The problem being, when I save it as .html (which is what I do for all my projects so far) and open it nothing happens.

Help would be great.

You need to wrap it in the standard HTML tags.

Do you know HTML yet?

you have an error here:

alert ("Thank You")+firstName;

it should be

alert ("Thank You "+firstName);

check your browser error console to see whats wrong

Not until I made my WAMP Webmail Server. I know how to make a paragraph and center text. As much right now. I made the server today so yeah I'm pretty new to it.

Oh thanks, I guess I missed that error.

The thing missing in my code is how to write to a text file. (If that's possible in JavaScript). I'm kinda obsessed with writing to text files in every language I know. (Don't know why).

Grammar.

JavaScript doesn't, as I recall, support that. The browser generally won't allow that anyway, as a security concern.
