[Website making]: how to implement first page?

[ritvij]

i have knowledge of html and javascript.. i am trying to build a website for our batch..
what i want is that the first page should contain a dialog box in which the user should input his/her name to continue..
like when one enters crysis's website you have to input your dob to enter..
can anyone suggest me how to implement it?

Create an HTML form and accept the names as inputs.

If you want them to only enter their name to access the site then do as said above...
but if you want to allow only certain users (secured)

You could create a form and link it to a database using PHP/asp.net...now enter the details of your batch mates in the database..only those people can have access to your page who are in the database...done !

Another easy way (NOT RECOMMENDED) would be through your hosting panel..simply password protect the whole directory and add the users to the list who can access it...but the problem in this would be, every time a user refreshes the page, he needs to give the password...
