Hope someone can help me.

I can successful install the .htaccess into my apache server. when I setup the protected directory, it has the dialog box popup to ask my username and password. Is there any other way (e.g. HTML form?) for the user to input their username and password (not the popup dialog) for authentication?

Thanks

There are methods within scripts that can do this...DBMAN offers this. LINKS has mods that can do this. (And many scripts at cgi-resources.com do this as well.)

It can be done in .cgi scripts...but rather than re-creating the wheel...I would recommend taking a look at DBMAN and other cgi scripts that do this to get an understanding of the sytanx and logic.
