In the password tutorial, a correct entry prints “Access granted!”.\r\rI am trying to get the if statment to geturl. I tryed the following code WITHOUT success:\r\rpassword = inputName\rif (password == “kirupa”) {\r getURL([www.mysite.com);](http://www.mysite.com);)\r} else {\r inputStatus = “Access denied!” ;\r}\r\r\rAny sugestions on what I am doing wrong?\rThanks!\rScott

Just a tidbit…\r\rI used ‘eq’ in place of the ‘==’ and it worked as well.
