htaccess

[p40s4me]

GOOD AFTERNOOON,

I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON HTACCESS. I AM TRYING TO CREATE A LOGIN FOR A WEB PAGE WITHOUT USING ANY SERVER SIDE PROGRAMMING. I HAVE CREATED A LOGIN PAGE WITH JAVASCRIPT, BUT I NEED TO BLOCK ACCESS TO MY OTHER PAGE FOR ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT LOG IN.(I.E SOMEONE DIRECTLY TYPING THE URL OF THE PROTECTED PAGE.) CAN I ACCOMPLISH ANY PART OF THIS USING HTACCESS. AND HOW, I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THANK YOU.

htaccess is NOT javascript but will password protect pages. You will need to put some files on your server which will have a UNIX or LINIX operating system.

Here's a link to a mini tutorial. There's also lots of other info on the web.
