a few quick qs from a relative beginner

hey guys, just 2 questions:
first of all, i am trying to make a very basic "password" page just to hide my page from morons at school, and i do this by basically checking if the value entered into the form == whatever i set it at in javascript just on that page. really simple, and i get it to return true, but then i try to set the window.location to something else, but it either just reloads the same page or puts out "file name missing" or something like that. how to fix?

secondly, how do you get jscript to document.write on the html document you tell it to do it on? whenever i tell a page to do that, it just starts a new blank document and puts down what i want on it. thanks guys

If your password is just to stop people from school getting access to your page, can't just just use tools with your web hosting account to either block ips or password protect dicectories?

yeah, but you are kindve missing the point: i am learning javascript and just wanted to make something simple i can actually point to and say i made... rather than, "oh yeah, i checked off that box." thanks though.

If you want anything secure, javascript is simply not up to the challenge. You can still 'make' something of it though - why not a server-side script or similar?

You might like to follow this JavaScript tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_operators.asp.

I have stopped you at the operators page as the pages before just show you document.write .

yeah thanks guys i am using those tutorials, but still no one has answered my original question: why is it that when i go:

how do you get javascript to document.write on the document you are already on? it always just goes to a new page for me. thanks
