html question

anyone know how to do this: i have a password protected site, and i want to have it like this, when the surfers click on the "enter members section here" a small window pops up with the username and password field, and when they click the login button, the small window closes, and the previous site (where the surfer clicked the enter members section link) goes to the password protected aera

I didnt have a closer look but .htaccess is what you need for sure.
if you arent satisfied with the tutorial just search for ".htaccess password area" or something similar.

just make sure the password files cant be read by normal surfers

i think javascript is what your looking for. I would'nt recommend anything like that tho. not too compatible, but who cares right?

Lol... that's an exact description of what .htaccess does. Although it's not technically a window that opens, it's more of a "prompt". If you're after more of a graphical interface you may need to try script such as javascript of php.
