Hi, I am stuck here. Since I am new to web pages development, I need someone to guide me how to create a web page that, after 30 seconds, pop up a modal dialog box requesting the user to enter a password.

Once the correct password is entered, then the user can proceed to use the browser.

I would appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you sirs.

showModalDialog windows are only supported by Internet Explorer.

You can however simulate one by popping up a sized window and using an onblur event on it. However, if the window pops up automatically, popup blockers are going to block it, so for most, they wouldn't see the popup.

You can also popup a div with a form in it, which might be better.

This thread will help.

Now if you just want to keep popping up a prompt, until the person enters the right password, then you can do that like this:

<script type="application/x-javascript">
    function go() {
        while(1) {
            var pw = prompt("enter password to use this page","");
            if (pw == "thepassword") {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    setTimeout("go()",30000);
</script>

*use type="text/javascript" if you need to support ol' internet explorer.

Of course all the user has to do is view the source of the page to see the password.
