Hi,

I have links to databases which contain passwords. Is it
possible to hide the link from view?

Is it also possible to hide it from people who view the
source too?

Thanks

Emma
 
you should probably password protect the database.
although i'm no expert on this...but for the gurus here you should post more info...like what kind of database...and what's the URL of the site...more info will get you more info.

no you can hide a link....well yes you can, but then how would the intended find it?

The database that the link takes us to has got a password
which is included in the link. This is why we want to hide
the URL.

Users have already gone through an authentication method
to ensure that they can access this database. We want to
ensure that they don't get to the database directly using
the URL. The database is an external website.

Thanks,

Emma

A "link" (I assume you're talking about a hyperlink?) cannot function
without a URL. And if the link appears in the browser, the URL of the link
is also in the browser. Essentially, a hyperlink is a clickable object which
handles the click event by redirecting the browser to another location,
specified by the URL, which is part of the link.
