- GateKeeper v3.2 by Joe Barta / Professional Web Design
- http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/tutor/keeper/
- ====================================================================
-
- This is the self contained version of the GateKeeper.
- It is freeware and freely distributable.
-
- DESCRIPTION: The Gate Keeper is a cool snippet of JavaScript code
- that you can use to restrict access to some or all of your web pages
- without the need for any CGI scripting or server-side
- authentication. Anyone who wishes to visit the protected pages will
- have to know the password. Also includes a NoteTab clip to automate
- the generation of a GateKeeper protected page. This is a much
- improved update.
-
- To use: Open the file index.html, this can be found in the
- GateKeeper folder inside your My Documents folder.
-
- Have fun & good luck!

- VERSION HISTORY:
-
- v3.2 ===============================================================
- - Instead of looking for a hidden file, it now looks for a hidden
- file in a hidden directory. That extra layer adds to both the
- security of the GateKeeper and it's usefullness.
- - Hopefully solved the IE5 problem. IE5 users were reporting that
- the GateKeeper box was popping up and just displaying some code.
- - Hopefully fixed the problem where some free hosts were blindly
- inserting popup code into all pages and screwing up the GateKeeper
- code in the process
- - Upgraded version 2.1 to 2.2. Now, when no password is entered and
- the user hits Cancel, nothing happens.
-
-
- v3.1a ==============================================================
- - Added link to The Vault (Forgot about it in v3.0 and 3.1)
-
-
- v3.1 ===============================================================
- - Some relatively minor changes to make the script leaner, faster
- and easier to set up.
- - Removed the NoteTab clip. Although it added "neato", it put a
- damper on the flexibility of GateKeeper. I felt using it might
- detract more than it added.
- - Added link to step by step example of http authorization setup.
-
-
- v3.0 ===============================================================
- A vastly improved version.
- - Password box to hide the input. [*********]
- - Notifies if password has been denied or approved. (No more "File
- not found" messages)
- - Optional redirect to another page if password is denied.
- - Message for those with javascript disabled.
- - Editable status bar message when mouse is over the link.
- - Ability to save passwords.
- - A second version (GateKeeper-II) that accepts a username and a
- password.
- - Has a user help file.
- - Several points of configurability.
- - Much more potential for customization.
- Also includes a slightly improved v2.1
- Includes a reference to HTTP Authentication
- Comes with a NoteTab clip to automate a GateKeeper creation.
-
-
