The purpose of this script is to accept the password for editing the web page. This script can be either incorporated into an existing page, or simple run alone with standard web page tags around it.
When the password is entered into this page, it sends the entered password over to the edit page. There is a routine there that will test the validity of the password. If it passes, then the edit forms will be loaded. If the password is found NOT to be valid, the user is sent back to the Password Checker.

/*
This module places a text box on the page
with the name of the page being edited.
After filling the password type textbox,
the user is sent to the edit page where
the password is checked. If it does not
match the password in the database, the user
is sent back here.

This script can be inserted into an HTML template. However, I usually simply let it live alone by wrapping basic HTML tags around it. Here are the tags you would place above the script:
I will sometimes place the script inside of a table with on cell, setting the table to 100% height and 100% width. Then set the cell to center align and middle valign. The table code would look like this:<html>Place the password checker script here, then follow with:
<head>
<title>Password Checker</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<table width=100% height=100%>put script here
<tr>
<td align=center valign=middle>
</td>
</tr>
