adding user names and passwords to hyperlinks

[tiggertail]

I am writing an intranet and have added links to other intranets. We have access to clients sites which everyone with access to the site I am working on also have access to, but the user names and passwords are different formats. I would like to add the user name and password for the external links to the hyperlink in my site.

Any idea how this can be done?

I have tried this, it gives HTTP 404. I have also tried "URL username : password" which opens the link but does not log on

Hi mate,

If you use that code above with your details and they are correct then the page does not exist.

That is the correct syntax.

sorry Wullie, this syntax does not work here. It gives 404. The link works perfectly well without the usernameassword@ bit

Hi mate,

When you say that it works without the userass bit, are you using the exact same url?

To explain more fully, if you access WITH

http://www.domain.com

then you would use userass@

http://www.domain.com

yes it is exactly the same URL, another user suggested i use url userass which opens the page but does not log in. using your syntax it runs the whole thing ito the adress bar and gives 404...
