How do i hide the coding so that the public cannot see my
password info in the ie view source?

You can't.
Even of you try all of the disable right click
scripts etc, all a person has to do is get the
file from their temporary internet files and read it.

If it's something that you seriously need password
protected, don't use javascript to do it.

I would suggest using FrontPage to password protect
a subweb within your website and place the content you
want protected into the subweb.

It is not that serious an issue, just don't want
it "that" obvious. Password protecting from front page to
a sub web only makes it uneditable, not unviewable.
So, if I don't care about the temp files, what would the
script be?

Lora,

You should probably use another script that is concealed from the sorce code, because you will be unable to hide your source code.

Here is a link to a variety of very easy asp snippets, as well as more full featured applications you can use to achieve the same thing:

Password protecting a sub web using FrontPage
makes it inaccessible unless a visitor has the password,
just like the folder at this link:

Thanks, but, forgot to mention, my server doesn't support
asp.
I need a java script but can't find one online.

Lora,

Here is a java script that encrypts the password:

If you are only looking to protect a page or two, this would probably work fine, but it sounds like your host is using Unix / Apache. If this is the case you may want to check and see if they have htaccess or php, as these will be much better for protecting many pages.

Hope it helps
