    Default Looking for a simple code

    Hello friends, im beginner with Java and I used to have a very nice code...that I unhappily lost...

    The code used to do something like this, its a "kind" of password...

    When someone clicks on the link, a java box appears, asking for the password..if the person types "night" as password and click "ok/send" the page automaticaly redirects to "www.mysite.com/night.html". If the person types "goodday" as password, and click "ok/send" the page automaticaly redirects to "www.mysite.com/goodday.html"

    Its a kind of password, only the person knows how to acess the page. I know that's not secure, but I really don't need security, just an easy way to hide some pages.

    Thank you very much guys =)

    Welcome to the forum, Pipar!

    KevinWorkman, he's looking for the sample code, as mentioned in the title. I do agree with your statement, though.

    If you're a beginner, you should consider working with simpler tasks. Here's my version of the program, though:

    import java.awt.FlowLayout;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
     
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
     
    public class redirectSample {
     
    	public static void main(String Args[]) { //Main method, always called first
     
    		window(); //Call the window
     
     
    	}
     
    	private static void window() { //The window of the program
     
    		final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Redirect Sample"); //Title
    		JButton prompt = new JButton("Redirect!"); //This is the button that will ask for the URL
     
    		prompt.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { //Without this statement, the button will not react when clicked
     
    			@Override
    			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     
    				String response = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word (Spaces are not allowed):");	
     
    				String webURL = "www.mysite.com/" + response + ".html";
     
    				JLabel siteLabel = new JLabel(webURL);
    				frame.add(siteLabel);
     
    			}
    		});
     
    		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //Set exit behavior
    		frame.setVisible(true); //The frame is now visible
    		frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     
    		frame.add(prompt);
    		frame.pack();
     
    	}
     
    }

    This forum is based on the "Thanks" button right below the username information to the left. If you liked my answer, please do me a favor and hit the button. I could really use it!

    I urge you to read through this: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...n-feeding.html

    The problem as stated isn't really a question that we can answer. You're assuming he's talking about Swing, but he could just as easily be talking about a JSP page, or JavaFX, or something else entirely. On top of that, your code also contains a few problems that will bite the OP down the road if he continues using it as is. That's why we usually try to talk posters through the problem themselves instead of just handing them code.

    I see, I've read through the article. I just wanted to show my version of what he was trying to say, also, he said he lost the code. So I'm assuming he knew what he was doing. You do make a good point. Thank you for the heads up, man!

    By the way, what "problems that will bite the OP down the road" are you referring to?

    No problem. It's awesome that you want to help, and it can be hard to resist the urge to just write some code that does what the OP wants (after all, we're programmers, we love problem solving). But usually it's a lot more helpful to walk the OP through the problem by asking questions, pointing out tutorials, and maybe giving example code- but full solutions often hurt more than they help.

    Little things like naming conventions are a lot more important than you might think, and we see a lot of questions here caused by things like setting the layout and adding components to an already visible JFrame. Also, I would have thought something like a CardLayout would be more like what the OP wants instead of adding multiple JLabels. But that's one of the reasons I would advise against offering code like that- we still haven't heard from the OP what the actual problem is.

    Boys will be boys.

    I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
