[Year 12 IT Apps] Setting up a username and password in Dreamweaver 5.5

[Peter Langham]

If you paste the text from the attached txt file into the code for a layer

Like this:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px;
z-index:1">
///insert code here/////
</div>

You'll get a nice little working javascript username and password. You
can modify the usernames and password by modifying the code.

If you don't want to do that, you can use the username "test" and
password "test".

If you open the txt file it may look complicated, but it's really as
simple as just pasting it into a layer.
