create page based on user?

[keithj]

I have several users entered into the .htaccess/.htpasswd files. I'd like to display text and change hidden tags in a form, based on the validated user.

Mostly I need to find out what variable is used to represent the validated user's username. Does anyone have a sample script where some element on the page is changed based on the valideated user? Thanks for any help with this...

Hi, good question!

If you don't have access to server-driven databases (PHP,ASP, CFM) then you'll have to set up arrays within javascript that will pull the variables based on user (cookies are good for this).

I don't have script handy, but if you search some javascript script sites, you should find something that will help you create what you're looking for.

Good luck!

I had planned on handling this through arrays, since it's a fairly small number of users involved.

I've done some basic searching for scripts, but haven't come across anything yet that uses the "username" variable... probably because I don't have a clue as to what it's called in javascript. Can anyone point me in that direction?
