Embed username &pwd to automatic access secure pages?

[Sudmill]

I need to embed a username and password into a web page to provide an automatic link through to a page within a secure area without the username and password dialogue box popping up.

Any ideas?

is there such a method as
<a HREF=&quot;

http://www.securearea&quot;

username=&quot;xxx&quot; password=&quot;yyyy&quot;>Click here</a>

Cheers

Unfortunately, there's no way you could do this without compromising the security of the site. The password would need to be encrypted somehow.

This is to be used as an intranet so it doesnot matter if this password is not encripted or visible (everyone knows it anyway).

Im only trying to do it for convenience ! Can anyone help?
