Hi, does anyone know the best way to create a javascript code, for a password between 5 and 10 characters?

if the password is less or more than 5 or 10 characters, the user is prompt to re-enter until a corrct one is given.

<html>
<head>

<script>
function get(eid) {
var d = document;
var r = d.getElementById(eid);
return r;
}

function chkPass(pw) {
return (4< pw.length &&
11 > pw.length )
}

function send() {
var pw = get('pass').value;
if (chkPass(pw)) {
// do your steps for a
// good password, e.g.,
// submit the form
}
else {
// do bad password steps
var msg = 'bad password: ' +
'length must be between 5 ' +
'and 10 characters.';
alert(msg);
}
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<form>
Enter password:
<input type="password"
id="pass" />
<input type="button"
value="send password"
onclick="send();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Honestly, if you are trying to password protect a file or a section of your site, you shouldn't be using javascript. javascript is run on the client machine, which means they have full access to view the source of your code (i.e. they can see your password).

If you truly want to password protect a section, you should consider using either a server-side script or something like htaccess in Apache.
