Problem: We have a download center where we catalog both eBooks for sale, and eBooks that are FREE downloads. Each eBook for sale has it’s own password/Key combination for unlocking it after it is downloaded, as a result, we do not worry about people downloading a “Per Pay” book without paying, because they cannot get into it anyway. They just waste their time for a long usless download.
However, to create a “Opt-in” mailing list, we require people to register their e-mail address and name before giving them access to the download center. We are getting to many wise guys with phony email addresses and I wish to verify those addresses by sending them a “Password” via email to enter the download area. If the email bounces back, we know its a phony, and if not, then the true customer/client can use the password to get into the download center.
We need a “Gateway” web page to do this. when they enter the gateway page it asks for the password. We need a script of some type that is like a “Y” in the road that sends you down either the left or the right side, such as:
Dim A$=”sunshine” (the password)
If A$=TRUE then goto page01.htm
If A4=FALSE then goto page02.htm
Else repeat.
I’m no programmer of VB or Java, but back in my IBM Basic days the above would be similar to what I am lookin for as a HTML coding to drop into the page….
Any ideas….???
