It used to be simple for a moron like me: in Adobe Golive (6) i just named the page with the same name as the password and a wizard in Golive did the rest.
Now, in school i start using Dreamweaver CS3 and i would like the same effect:

Suppose you got an image with a link to another page from the same site (thus internal link), but when someone clicks on it with LMB instead of going straight to that page a password is askeed to fill in, and if the password is right you get to the wanted link, otherwise he just gives a "wrong password" dialogue box.

Remark:
i havent got NO database linked with logins r whatever..., nothing at all.

Is there an easy, none coded, way to do this? (like in Golive before); it doesnt have to be a very secure page, cos only noobs are going to acces it.

anyone?

Yes there is a way to do this, using something called HTACCESS.

However, it will require some work from you (currently I am not sure if Dreamweaver has a function to password a directory on your website, if not I'm sure your website's Control Panel will have a tool for you to use).

It is relatively easy, so if you feel like giving it a bash I have provided some easy to understand links.
