How do I set a password in dreamweaver & link it to a URL 2

[eman2]

I can create the passwords dialogue box & user name etc.

But how do I set a password and then how do I make that link to another URL once the correct pasword has been typed in?

Do I need CGI, Java etc?

that depends on how secure you want it to be. There are several ways to do it using javascript but most of the ones I have seen can be gotten around if you are a smart enough. It may keep out your average Joe but not anyone who knows how to get past it.

here are some links to tutorials that may help you out:

I think that the best way to do this is using a database with a table containing the user and password fields. In Dreamweaver-Ultradev 4 you can make several "User Authentications" with a click. If you don't have it, you can do it with ASP, and the less secure options are with JavaScript. If you want to use the database option and ASP, I have the code done. Just let me know.

well if you have MSaccess its real easy...all you do is set up a new table with 3 fields....field 1 will be username field 2 will be pass and field 3 will be uniqueid

the all you do is get the dbase set up on your server (remember you must be on a windows server to use asp or access) there are other options for unix servers but thats a different ballgame

once you have the table set up then let us know and we can help you get set up with the username and password fields
sleep is good
