website

hi all, i was wondering how one would add a username and password authentication to ones website??? you know when you click a link and a gray window pops up and asks you for a user name and password.


i'm starting to expirimint with webpage design and i have always wanted to know this...

I'm somewhat confused, but I think something your looking for is available at Bravenet. It offer's many services for website's and is free. If they don't have what your looking for, post back and include a little more information. I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, that's why I'm a little bleh about what your requesting.

For bravenet, visit http://www.bravenet.com

something like that.... it looks more like this

You mean .htaccess for Apache servers... you need to create a password file, then create a simple .htaccess file in the directory you want protected...

AuthType ...
AuthGroupFile ...
AuthUserFile ...
AuthName ...
Require ...

That would be included in a very simple .htaccess file.. obvisouly the ... would be replaced by variables and options. For more info, visit Apache's site.

Here is a start
.htaccess
