Authenticating and redirecting members

[GamerShock]

Okay here is the problem, I am making a site for members only and i'm using an iframe to check to see if there a member or not. I have it all going good but i'm a little worried about the redirection script i'm using. If there not a member the iframe will read
top.location.href="http://boards.somethingsomethingdomain.com/register.php";
</script>

But what i'm worried about is the people who have java turned off they will be able to view that page without being a member, does anyone have a good solution i can do so non-java users will be redirected also?

Thanks,

first off, JAVA is not the same as JAVASCRIPT. Two entirely different languages.

Second, javascript based authentication is risky as you've discovered. For true member authentication you need a server side solution such as CGI, PhP or ASP/JSP.

That gets complicated. There are good tutorials for all of the above available.
