Introducing AJAX with a back end script would be a more secure solution since it could do the secure part on the server side, however this wouldn't be possible with InstantPro, even if you could include JavaScript, since the AJAX call would need to be to another server which is a cross domain call that by default are blocked by modern browsers for security purposes :(

Clever script. More secure than many server side login scripts I've seen. :) I imagine that hash function produces many collisions so not something you can reverse engineer. Still as has been said, brute force and a few hours on a modern PC and you'd soon have all the answers.
I see no problem in using such scripts as long as people are aware of the limitations and realise that its possible for the url to be passed around etc.. I imagine theres an AJAX version around somewhere to help hide the url from being plainly visible on the browser too.

Hmmm... see tag line! :¬)
Seems some JavaScripts are better than others...
It will 'brute force' it appears.

A serious scalping! :D
I was not making any noises Warhunt!! :S lol
Well I'm meant to be working anyways, stop trying to distract me Hmmm! The hashing function in JavaScript is mighty, I think the only way to reverse it, would not to reverse it and brute force it instead.
I'll try it when I get home from work :D I love the challenge Hmmm, a colleague suggested a "challenge Hmmm" forum!
Oh I need a scalping :'(

Haha yeah I meant our staff. Mainly a dig seen as I'm so busy lol :D
And my other post was meant light hearted too, haha, maybe I just shouldn't post :D Bah humbug and all that :P
I think LukeM was fairly close by the way. He was making all the right noises :D

Don't be so touchy! :¬)
Ha ha if anyone has time to do this rather than work, I think they need to be scalped :D -
that was what I meant about me 'wasting my time' - and I'm in agreement with you!
EDIT: I think I've read you all wrong!
were you referring to people trying the challenge? I thought you meant it was me that should be 'scalped'! :¬P
This all goes back to my InstantPro Javascript/Adsense post - I just mentioned (picking on Eccles not you!) that this was another thing to look forward to when the InstantPro JavaScript plugin is available.

Haha always me ain't it? No matter how nice i try to be :( LOL
No idea what I said to make you see "I think you are wasting your time" but ...meh....not important. :D
I actually thought it was fun. But I didn't have the time to look into it myself, as I'm busy. (Plus I wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway)

lol - you guys! I specifically said NO CHEATING! :¬)
I think I've sort of proved my point that you can use JavaScript to 'protect' a members page. No it isn't robust but a half decent script seems to be able to keep most surfers out!
Warhunt seems to think I'm wasting my time (I am!) but thought the effort was worth it to reply to Eccles & LukeM's earlier posts.
I can see some of Freeola's biggest brains (not just staffies) have had a go ;¬)
So IMO if this page is safe guarding the local WI's recipes it would do...
