// Name: Password protect a page
// Description:How can I password protect a page? The simplist and most effective password protection using just clientside JavaScripting, relies on the user not knowing the target filename.
Found on the web at:http://www.irt.org
// By: Found on the Web

//
// Inputs:Where frameName1 and frameName2 are the names of the two frames that you want to change.
//
// Returns:None
//
//Assumes:
Note, the user can find the directory location, by examining the source, therefore you must protect your directory by placing a default file inside it, which your server will always send when the directory is requested, e.g. index.html, otherwise a directory listing will be sent.
It is also possible on Unix systems, to just set the parent (or all) directory's permissions to rwx--x--x and all other files to rwxr--r--. The user cannot get directory listings, but can still access any files there. (Thanks to Mike Crawford for this last tip.)

//Side Effects:None
