password-locking HTML pages ...

[Eugene]

hey folks,

is there a "cheap and easy" way to password lock an html page?

elementary Javascript perhaps?

someone told me that you have to fool with the "HTACCESS" file, but this is
"greek" to me at this point.

does it depend on what your web hosts' control panel is capable of?

thanks for any input or direction on this...

yes.

not secure in any way, people will just point laugh at you.

someone told me that you have to fool with the "HTACCESS" file,

..htaccess tutes specifically related to password protection: (they're
the most fun and make you giggle)

but this is "greek" to me at this point.

its not hard to learn

no, the control panel goodies are just a frontend but i would say it
would be unusual these days for a hosts control panel not to have an
option to password protect directories. if they don't then you're stuck
with the .htaccess file or installing a premade script:

Check with your host for recommendations and allowances.
don't just go doing it on your own.

Do you realize that you are not posting to a website forum when you use
this site. They are passing your posts on to the usenet newsgroup
alt.html

alt.html is a publicly available newsgroup. The website you are using is
stealing its content directly from there and pretending that it is
their own. There is no original material at all on the website you are
looking at now. It is all coming directly from usenet.

I suggest you obtain a newsreader and visit us at -
you will get a far better reaction to your question.

If you can not use a newsreader then http://groups.google.com will
provide you web based access into usenet, and they don't lie about the
content being their own.

Let's hope that anyone who attaches value to being a member of the
forum4designers-community realizes the false truth. I invite them to
come over to alt.html directly.

I think that what bugs people is that forum4designers makes no attempt to
indicate that their "forums" are actually gateways into something else
entirely. It's rather similar to what happened in 1993 when AOL began
offering access to Usenet, but gave no indication that the groups were
anything different from AOL's internal message boards. The result was that
users were completely unaware that they were posting into places that had
well-developed cultures of their own, which naturally led to some culture
clashes.

Exactly, why do you care?

Welcome to the globe. Just seems like a silly thing to get your undies
in a bunch over. (Not you specifically)
