Clever Code

 

So, what happen is scripted window functionality is disabled by default on IE8 ( at least on my setup) and that prevented prompt  from showing. So, when the code run, it got blocked and never got to prompt me for input. That shot testV over the roof and kicked incorrect password.

 

I am sure the magicians did not intend it, nonetheless, it turns out to be nice trick.       

 

After seeing the code I didn't need the secret password, just type the secret page and boom I was in.

 

p.s. to protect the innocent I have changed the prompt text and redirect page.
