texte = Why would the web browser cache their username and password? I've been totons of web sites...and each and every time I go to the page (within thesame session) I have to re-enter the username and password. Forexample...if you go to www.nutrio.com and open account. You have to log inevery time you refresh the page. At least I do anyway...my browsers do notcache the username and password.Now...if WebCatalog is suppose to cache the username and password, that'sanother story. Maybe I have my Preferences wrong for WebCatalog. (I'musing 3.0 by the way) I don't know...if there's a difference between .tpland .html files using [protect group]. In the two-three years I've beenusing WebCatalog, I've never used the .tpl extension. I've always used.htmlI ended up just re-arranging and framing the information...then used thetemplate2.html?username=[username] method to pass the information without itbeing seen. I guess there's always a work-around to make it happen anotherway, 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 ausername and password. template1.html was suppose to, but template2.htmlwas not.
