    Default Having problem checking number of attempts to login

    <html>
    <head>
     
    <script Language="JavaScript">
     
    function passCheck();
    {
    	var myPass = document.getElementById("myPass");
    	i=0;
    	while (myPass!=="Ofir")
    	{
    	i=i+1;
    	}
    	if (i>2)
    	{
    		alert("You have reached the attempts limit, Please try again later");
    	}
    	else if (i<2)
    	{
    		alert("We do not recognize you, Please try again.");
    	}
    }
     
    </script>
     
    </head>
     
    <body>
     
    <form method="Post">
    <p>Password: <input type="text" id="myPass"></input></p>
    <input type="submit" onClick="passCheck()"></input>
    </form>
     
    </body>
    </html>

    I've been trying to write a code that recieves a data (password), tho if the person has entered a wrong password
    for over 2 times, he'll get an alert saying he's been banned for a few minutes..

    Thanks.

    You'll want to ask this in a Javascript forum not a Java forum. The languages are pretty far apart you know. Google can help you find the correct spot to post this.
