This action allows you to password protect a page on your site without using a CGI or server based method. The password is encrypted on your HTML page so it cannot be guessed by viewing the source code. Use this page to generate your encrypted password.

Instructions on how to use this action:

1. Decide on a password you'll use and click here to generate your encrypted password, be sure to write it down.

2. In Golive, create a link which will point to your password protected page.

3. In the Text Inspector window (or Image Inspector if the link is an image) select the Link tab and type "#" into the URL field (no parentheses). Be sure to use "#", not the name of the password protected file.

4. Switch to the Actions tab, select the event you want (most likely "Mouse Click") and hit the "+" sign to add an action.

5. Scroll down until you find the Password Plus Action and select this.

6. In the Password field, enter the encrypted password you wrote down.

7. In the message field, enter in the message you would like to display when someone enters a correct password, (eg. "Your password is correct, Welcome to the secret vault!").

8. Save the file and be sure your password protected page resides in the same directory and uses the same name as your (non-encrypted) password. (eg. Your access password is "Golive", your password protected page would be "Golive.html" - case sensitive).

9. Browsers other than Netscape (version 3-6), or Internet Explorer (version 4-6) will not be able to enter a password and thus cannot access your protected page.
