I have this one site thats password protected. When someone gives the right password, it goes to the right link, but there are no scrollbars at all. So half of my stuff isn't showing. How do I make scollbars for a password protected page?
Thanks

the password script shouldn't interfere with scrollbars on its own. the scrollbar should always display if necessary (if the amount of content on the page warrants it), no matter what other scripts there are on the page. are you sure it isn't anything else on the page that's causing the scrollbar to not show up? could you post a link to the page (and allow us to get in- perhaps you could set a temporary password until you get an answer)?

hmm, the scrollbars show up fine for me. perhaps it's a browser problem? what browser are you using? it works fine in Netscape 7.0, at least.

also, that password "protection" script is weaker than most JavaScript ones I've seen (which are weak to begin with). the visitor could 1) turn off JavaScript 2) click cancel, view source, and get the password and in the case of this script 3) go directly to the "protected" page, once they know the URL. so remember not to post anything at all secret/private on that page :)

What code did you use to password protect your page? Mine isn't working, it keeps saying:

Restricted Access

You attempted to gain access with an incorrect password.
