Password Protecting Links

explain what you're trying to do (factually not theoretically).
there is an easy solution I'm sure.
 
Chris,

I have a graphic button that links to a section called "Archived Training
Flashes" in my web site. This section needs to be off limits to our reps, so
that they don't get confused w/ reading an out dated Training Flash. We
still want to allow access to this section, for the managers to view old
training. So I need to password protect the graphic link called "View
Archived Flashes". So when the button is clicked on, they will be prompted
to enter a password and/or a username, before being allowed access to view
the link.

Thanks,

Lauren
 
ok, you don't really want to protect the link so much as the pages it leads
to.
is it your own server or a remote hosted server? either way can you run
..asp pages? I've got a sweet little script that will provide rudimentary
protection for something non-critical like this.
 
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't you just move the files into a protected sebweb whereas only managers have permission? Also, on the hyperlink, add a "screen tip" saying managers only etc
 
you could. that's why I asked if it was their server or a hosted server.
sometimes it's a hassle to get the admins to set up a protected subweb. the
little script I have works off an include page and it's easy if you're on a
hosted server. I wouldn't use it for anything really sensitive.

OK,
just hit my contact link below and I'll email you the file. I was just
messing with it lastnight so I've got it close at hand.
