How or where can I get a good members protect type area?

[cao825]

I am looking for a protection for my page that would have the user enter in a username and password and only let the users into a section of my site. And have random checks so that no one could get into the site and it wouldn't bother the user. Thanks for any input!

Instead of individual signins, you could make them come in from a certain page using this script:


<!-- Begin

var requiredfrom = "www.yoursite.com/login.htm"; // required prev. page

if (document.referrer.indexOf(requiredfrom) == -1) {

alert("You must come to this page from " + requiredfrom);]

window.location=requiredfrom;
}

// End -->

There are scripts to handle this. One of it is:
