htaccess

Thanks WebWiz-Bruce.  .htaccess is now installed on our server.

Next, I am wondering if there is a solution to bypass the authentication pop up dialog box.  An ideal solution would to send the authentication via a form.  There will be PDF documents and Word files  that needs protecting and this is why server-side login scripting (check db, session variables) will not work in our case.

While doing a little research, I found that the user name and password can be apart of the URL - e.g. http://username:password@www.yourdomain.com/securedirectory/....

However, not all browsers support this.   I am wondering if there is another solution to bypass the authentication pop up dialog box.

Thanks in advance,
