Hi

Not a direct answer to your question, more an alternative method, why not have a table of "authorised users", this could be as simple as two columns, buttonName and UserId, in the onclick event of the protected button(s), put code to check if the current user is an authorised user.

I feel this method is preferable to passwords, since users if they have a proliferation of passwords to remember will resort to writing them on postit notes stuck to thier monoitors, which somewhat negates the reason for having passwords
