Tone of ways. Passowrd protction is easy, u can do it simply with javascript, or used compelx cgi php and htaccess files, or if enogh resorse possibly even a secuyre server?

[jamie5k]

i got a site that a m8 gave me http://www.accessprotect.com/

[smurf-you]

Javascript probaly is the most simple way but also very good

[jamie5k]

ye im using my cpanel coz i just found it lol.

[-JT-]

the cPanel passwords are the most secure but they look bad, i prefer javascript with a no right click (a good one)

[jamie5k]

ye i think i will also try and javascript one.

[-JT-]

yes, it looks MUCH nicer and presentation is EVERYTHNG

[jamie5k]

ye i guess it does do you have a code for one lol so cant be bothered to look for one to busy making a forum.

It's useless using javascript with no right click, since people can just press the button nxt to CTRL and it does the same as right click

lol, have you ever heard of somthing called an HTML scrambler? It makes your HTML look like some kid has been having fun with the keyboard, lol.

Html scramblers dont tend to get on well with javascript so it teneds not to work with passowrd scripts. Athogh you can get passowrd scripst where the password isnt actaly in the code. But even then a javascript passowrd wont be very secure.
A cgi passowrd syetem would probly be the best choise if u wnated it to be both pretty secure as well as having a good looking login system

[-JT-]

yeah i agree, lol, or you could get a messy one with a measagebox yuk!

[Anti-Pod]

can u give me a link to this 'cgi passowrd syetem' or a code for it :)

[-JT-]

i beilive that it comes with cPanel, it aint a 'script', its advance security technoligy.
