texte = Why would the web browser cache their username and password? I've been to tons of web sites...and each and every time I go to the page (within the same session) I have to re-enter the username and password. For example...if you go to www.nutrio.com and open account. You have to log in every time you refresh the page. At least I do anyway...my browsers do not cache the username and password.Now...if WebCatalog is suppose to cache the username and password, that's another story. Maybe I have my Preferences wrong for WebCatalog. (I'm using 3.0 by the way) I don't know...if there's a difference between .tpl and .html files using [protect group]. In the two-three years I've been using WebCatalog, I've never used the .tpl extension. I've always used .htmlI ended up just re-arranging and framing the information...then used the template2.html?username=[username] method to pass the information without it being seen. I guess there's always a work-around to make it happen another way, other than the correct way.Thanks anyway...here's a review of what I tried that did not work:>>>template1.html [protect cscc]
click here>>>template2.html [protect cscc]On both template1.html and template2.html, WebCatalog asked me for a username and password. template1.html was suppose to, but template2.html was not.
