title: Making a page accessible only by password
body: <p>What is the simplest way to make a page accessible by username/password? In school I learned to do this on the server side using sql and java. I'm wondering is there a way to do this only on the client side?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: lol... based on the responses, I probably should say why I specified client-side. I'm being asked to load an extra page into our company website that is supposed to aid some of our employees. I didn't design this extra page, and I was asked to put this up with a very simple log in. Granted I need to confirm with my superior that a client side login is ENOUGH, I just wanted to know if it could be done IF they decide that it's not all that important. The page itself won't have a link on the site, so unless someone knows it's there or decides to snoop, nobody will even know it's there.</p>
