GateKeeper  v3.2  by Joe Barta / Professional Web Design
http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/tutor/keeper/  
====================================================================

This is the self contained version of the GateKeeper.
It is freeware and freely distributable.

DESCRIPTION: The Gate Keeper is a cool snippet of JavaScript code
that you can use to restrict access to some or all of your web pages
without the need for any CGI scripting or server-side
authentication. Anyone who wishes to visit the protected pages will
have to know the password. Also includes a NoteTab clip to automate
the generation of a GateKeeper protected page. This is a much
improved update.

To use: Unzip into a new folder and start with index.html.

Have fun & good luck!

VERSION HISTORY:

v3.2 ===============================================================
- Instead of looking for a hidden file, it now looks for a hidden
  file in a hidden directory. That extra layer adds to both the
  security of the GateKeeper and it's usefullness.
- Hopefully solved the IE5 problem. IE5 users were reporting that
  the GateKeeper box was popping up and just displaying some code.
- Hopefully fixed the problem where some free hosts were blindly
  inserting popup code into all pages and screwing up the GateKeeper
  code in the process
- Upgraded version 2.1 to 2.2. Now, when no password is entered and
  the user hits Cancel, nothing happens.


v3.1a ==============================================================
- Added link to The Vault (Forgot about it in v3.0 and 3.1)


v3.1 ===============================================================
- Some relatively minor changes to make the script leaner, faster
  and easier to set up.
- Removed the NoteTab clip. Although it added "neato", it put a
  damper on the flexibility of GateKeeper. I felt using it might
  detract more than it added.
- Added link to step by step example of http authorization setup.


v3.0 ===============================================================
A vastly improved version.
 - Password box to hide the input. [*********] 
 - Notifies if password has been denied or approved. (No more "File
   not found" messages) 
 - Optional redirect to another page if password is denied. 
 - Message for those with javascript disabled. 
 - Editable status bar message when mouse is over the link. 
 - Ability to save passwords. 
 - A second version (GateKeeper-II) that accepts a username and a
   password. 
 - Has a user help file. 
 - Several points of configurability. 
 - Much more potential for customization.
Also includes a slightly improved v2.1
Includes a reference to HTTP Authentication
Comes with a NoteTab clip to automate a GateKeeper creation.


v2.1 ===============================================================
* Never released. (except as bundled with v3.0) 
Added mouseover message.
Added message for those with JS disabled.


v2.0 ===============================================================
Completely different script.
Uses prompt box instead of opening a Gate Keeper window.
Easily used between frames.

Original release.
