put password on a page

Fp doesn't work with security on pages, only the entire web. You can set
security on an entire web by connecting to the hosted server and using the
Tools | Security menu item. It may be greyed out if you are not an
administrator. If the server is on a Windows platform, a server admin may
have to create the user accounts you want first so you can use them to
restrict access.

The best way with FrontPage to do this is to put the single page into it's
own web so you can adjust security. There are other ways though, such as
ASP,PHP, etc. where when someone visits the page you have code in the page
that checks for the presence of a login cookie. If the cookie isn't present
it re-directs them to a login page which will create this cookie if the user
exists in a database.

There are also javascripts that you can use, though these are the least
secure method. Check out http://javascript.internet.com for some great
javascripts you could use for this.

Hope this helps,

Here is code for a quick-and-dirty "poor man's" 1-page
security (if you don't want to look into FP security or
get into session variables). Note 3 things: the page has
to be saved as a .asp, this ONLY works for 1 web page, the
password is hard-coded into the page.

Place this above the <HTML> tag:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<% Response.Buffer=True %>
....
<BODY>
<%
If Request.Form("userpwd") <> "choose_your_pw" Then
%>
<p>This is a password-protected page</p>
<form name=form1 action=name_of_this_page.asp
method=post>
User Name : <input type=text name=username>
Password : <input type=password name=userpwd>
<input type=submit value="Login">
</form>
<%
Else %>
'Display contents of the page
<%
End If %>

Hope that helps.
