Securing a webpage

[Capture Boy]

I m using FP2002 and want to secure a webpage, so that when a link to it is
clicked, a box will pop up and ask for the password. If the password is
correct then the secure webpage will be shown, if the password is wrong then
the user will be sent back to the homepage.

Is this possible?

Many Thanks

You have two options, one can be achieved using FrontPage and Sub Webs and the other can be achieved using scripting

1- Option 1: If your hosts supports sub webs, you could create a sub web and insert the secure content into that site. You would then create uniques permissions for the sub web, so people viewing it would require a user and password to access the content. To use this method, you first want to verify with your host that sub webs are supportd

2- Option 2: You could use asp scripting (or a variety of others), to create a login page. If the login is correct, they are directed to the page. If not you can redirect them anywhere you wish. This option requires scripting that is not in FrontPage, but this is pretty simple. Here are some asp scripts for this type of login:
