Here's what I do, it's easy:1- Add $authenticate to a *bogus* URL on your server, then hit return. This will cause the browser's authenticate dialog box to pop up.2- Enter the new username/password, then click the OK button. This resets the username and password values in your browser.3- The browser will respond by giving you its Authorization failed. Retry? dialog box. When it does, click the Cancel button.4- Now enter whatever URL you want to test with the new username and password you just entered, and you'll be able to continue -- without quitting the browser ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
