I would like to add an Admin button to my DVD collection page that I can edit or add new DVDS from. I should be the only one to access this. How do I go about setting up a login id and password that only I have access to?

On my site, I have pages for my kids and of course the DVD stuff. I have had these pages password protected but my former instructor did this through her Web provider, which I guess would be server-side authentication. I would like to be able to handle this through client-side authentication. There is code for this in the book I have but Mr Forta doesn't go into detail about setting the id and the password part. It just authenticates the presence of an id of 5 characters and numeric password. I want to set what the id and password would be for my use. Any ideas how I would go about this? Confused

if your isp supports PHP you could use a PHP script to password protect certain pages you didn't want others to access, that's what I have been using for many of my client's sites.
