This trick solution will not work.You have to change the RAM-cached username and password values IN THE BROWSER before the browser will send those new values to webcatalog upon each http request. Webcatalog *cannot* make the browser change those RAM-cached values.The only way I know of to make a browser replace one set of RAM-cached username and password values with another is to type two new values into the browser's authentication box. A javascript *may* have the ability to mimic this action, but webcatalog certainly cannot do this. ================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
