Need help with password dialog box

R

Ron

I can set up a password box in FrontPage 2003; however,
when I apply the password in trial runs, if I mistype the
information, I get a dialog box that tells me what the
password is. That ruins the idea of keeping a password
secret. I have tried to go into the source code and
change how the dialog box responds, but after I save the
changes, the dialog box continually reverts to the preset
parameters and announces what was "expected" by the
person inputting incorrect data. I am frustrated with
trying to find a solution to this problem. Can anyone
help?

Any reason why your trying to create your own??
What kind of server is your site hosted on??

I set it up using the FrontPage guidelines for a password
box. I had no option as to formatting the dialog box
that would pop up once a person hits the submit button.

What is confusing me is your saying you
went into the "source code" to change
the way the box responds.!!

What "source code" are you talking about??

Sounds like JavaScript or a form w/ password fields (using validation)
(which are both worthless for security)
- not server site validation

For the correct way to do it see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=301554
Your host will have to support subwebs and unique permissions under the FP Server Extensions
