Help with .htaccess
I have .htaccess on my website, I can get it to go to the pop up screen that asks for my name and password, but cannot access the area. I have created the .htpasswd file, uploaded it in ASCII and used http://mirage.golden.net/generator/ to generate the password. I realize passwords are case sensitive, and yes the .htaccess file points to the .htpasswd file correctly. I'm at a loss. Any takers?

I not clear to your question as you don't need a Form to use .htaccess file to protect your page/directory. When using .htaccess file, normally an authentication window will open to ask for username/password before anyone can gain access to the page/directory. Anyway, the below link will explain how to use the .htaccess file.
