I want to password protect a page on my website so that only the people I
designate and myself can get into it. Can anyone help? I little copy and
paste html example would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

Authentication is always more difficult that it should be. You can't do
this at all unless you turn on authentication on your Web server or make the
page accessible only through code (like ASP, JSP PERL, or CGI code) by
requiring a login/password combination or other authentication mechanism
before displaying the page. In other words, you must choose an
authentication method that prevents anonymous users from browsing the page.
If you're interested in doing that, please respond in this group and state
what platforms and browsers your clients are running (different for all IE
vs. a mixture of browsers), what type of Web server you're using and what
sort of solution (server authentication or programmed) you're interested in.

Thanks,
