I am new to page creation, and I have a few questions about what I can, or can not do using geocities. I started learning CGI and ASP and SSI, which would have taken care of my problem. However, geocities does not support these extensions. So I'm stuck with JavaScripts.<br />
<br />
I have started a web-site where I want users to log in and make changes to the site. The stipulations I want are as follows:<br />
<br />
1. Certain members can make only certain posts.<br />
2. Same users can edit certain pages using inputs.<br />
3. Each corresponding html page to display these changes/additions.<br />
<br />
That's a VAGUE generality, so sorry if it does not help. But maybe these questions may make this more clear.<br />
<br />
1. Is it possible for users to make changes to existing pages using javascripts?<br />
2. Each page is in HTML format, so can an HTML page pick off pieces of a users edit page to display to multiple pages?<br />
<br />
This is only the beginning, as most pages I have visited are not helping me understand JavaScripting.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot,<!--content-->Geocities does not allow its users to have password restricted websites. So using a login without a password is fairly meaningless.<br />
<br />
I don't believe you can do the things you asked about using JAVA script. You would need to use a server side application or allow users to edit on their local computer then upload to your geocities website.<br />
<br />
Your best bet is to get off of geocities and use a host that allows server side programs and the use of password/logins. <br />
<br />
Look through the Domains and Webhosting forum for free webhosts that allow you to do the things you want to.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am able to use password-protected pages. I already have that set up. But, I do believe you about not being able to use JavaScripts for what I'm wanting. I really do appreciate your help tremendously though.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!!<!--content-->It is technically possible to set up password protected pages on geocities but it is a violation of the terms of service agreement, I should have said that in my first post.<br />

I appreciate it. I'll "peruse" the TOS. But I'm 99.5% positive to leave geocities anyways. It just seems more of a hassle than it needs to be, even if it IS free. LOL You've been great dude. Thanks a lot.<!--content-->Originally posted by NightEagleX <br />
