Passwording a home page link?

[ag5t]

I would like to add a link on the home page that says employees only. Employees could click on the link to get to the Intranet. I don't want the IP address or web address of the Intranet to be in the source code. Is there a way I can use Dreamweaver to set the link up so that it is passworded? Thanks.

u should use ASP for this, the links will be:
<a href="ASDASD.asp?id=Employee">Employee Only</a>

in ASDASD.asp
<%
if(request("id")="Employee") then
response.redirect "IP OF LAN"
end if
%>

one more thing, unless this link is password protected such encdyption would be waste, so u may want to first check if it is only an employee that clicked the link...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

if you use php just set up a session id on that page like "12423526622" that will be hard to guess and then just check for that id on each page of the site.
