Thread: Looking for a simple code

Hello friends, im beginner with Java and I used to have a very nice code...that I unhappily lost...

The code used to do something like this, its a "kind" of password...

When someone clicks on the link, a java box appears, asking for the password..if the person types "night" as password and click "ok/send" the page automaticaly redirects to "www.mysite.com/night.html". If the person types "goodday" as password, and click "ok/send" the page automaticaly redirects to "www.mysite.com/goodday.html"

Its a kind of password, only the person knows how to acess the page. I know that's not secure, but I really don't need security, just an easy way to hide some pages.

Thank you very much guys =)

Welcome to the forum, Pipar!

KevinWorkman, he's looking for the sample code, as mentioned in the title. I do agree with your statement, though.

If you're a beginner, you should consider working with simpler tasks. Here's my version of the program, though:

import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
 
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
 
public class redirectSample {
 
	public static void main(String Args[]) { //Main method, always called first
 
		window(); //Call the window
 
 
	}
 
	private static void window() { //The window of the program
 
		final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Redirect Sample"); //Title
		JButton prompt = new JButton("Redirect!"); //This is the button that will ask for the URL
 
		prompt.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { //Without this statement, the button will not react when clicked
 
			@Override
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 
				String response = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word (Spaces are not allowed):");	
 
				String webURL = "www.mysite.com/" + response + ".html";
 
				JLabel siteLabel = new JLabel(webURL);
				frame.add(siteLabel);
 
			}
		});
 
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //Set exit behavior
		frame.setVisible(true); //The frame is now visible
		frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
 
		frame.add(prompt);
		frame.pack();
 
	}
 
}

I see, I've read through the article. I just wanted to show my version of what he was trying to say, also, he said he lost the code. So I'm assuming he knew what he was doing. You do make a good point. Thank you for the heads up, man!

By the way, what "problems that will bite the OP down the road" are you referring to?

Boys will be boys.

Little things like naming conventions are a lot more important than you might think, and we see a lot of questions here caused by things like setting the layout and adding components to an already visible JFrame. Also, I would have thought something like a CardLayout would be more like what the OP wants instead of adding multiple JLabels. But that's one of the reasons I would advise against offering code like that- we still haven't heard from the OP what the actual problem is.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Thank you Cronus
I'm not a programmer, just a curious that is looking for codes for my personal website I used to have this code, found it a long time ago on a website, and just used it. I'm going to try your code, thank you SO MUCH! <3
