How works a login via standard HTML form rather than browser "pop-up" box?
Does anybody knows a script for that?

Is it more secure against scrip-kiddies with their brute-force proggies?

Thnx

Absolutely :)
Basically, that kind logins can't mirrored.

I don't see how they are different as regards to brute force methods... All that's different is a little header information.
Do you mean authentication by the web browser (htaccess style) by "popup box"?

As far as security goes, they're both unsecure as neither are encrypted. :)
