The only limitation is when you have authenticated yourself on a specific site which use this trick, and you try to authenticate again with anoter username/password in the same browser session. BTW I found a trick to avoid this limitation (in the rare case you need to be able to log under 2 differents identity on the same page): a logout feature that send you on a protected page (on the same server) of another group, which 'clear the memory username/password slot' of netscape (even if you do not fill it). > I don't know, but from what you're saying it probably was not -- > because it never worked for me, ever.

It work perfectly with Explorer, near perfection with Netscape (if you avoid using schizophrenic login ;-). It is very simple to implement. I so sad that you could not understand it and have such a negative attitude instead of asking for help. I would have helped you as I did for John Butler. I do not need to say that your attitude does not really motivate me to help you further. I just hope that the others webcatters got it to work and are happy with it. When i'll have some free time, I'll setup a demo site to demonstrate the feature, and I will post the code on it.A+ Brice -- Brice Le Blevennec, Digerati, ListDad,
