I was able to add a username/password area to my homepage and direct it to a different page. It works great! The problem is the page it directs to is no more secure than before. I can still open that page anyway. Am I missing something? I need the page that opens to be only accessible through the username/password.

I don't use this CC program as I accomplish security via the htaccess file but I believe you have to use frames in order for this CC feature to work. Otherwise, it's just another page to be opened via a url. CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Tom,

Do you write the htaccess file manually, or do you have an interface program? Bill R.

Check your host. Many hosts offer password protect directories in their cpanel. These are very good for the average user. http://www.primetimebulldogs.com

The Help for the CC Password program explains that frames and java must be used. It suggests the following code be placed before the body tag

<frameset rows="*,100%" border=0>

<frame name=hidden src=hidden.html marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0>

<frame name=visible src=password.html marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=auto frameborder=0>

</frameset>



As soon as I place this code in the header, my page will not open. Very frustrating.

I write my own htaccess code. Very simple with a tutorial.

Here is one reference.

stopgreenpath, there's quite a few more steps involved in the process, so I hope you did more than just the header section. It's a little tricky and there's been several threads going back and forth trying to help others get it going. I can try to help further if you want to keep at it.
My demo w/ a little explanation along the way:
