ASP = Active Server Pages.  the code you place in these pages is a mixture of front end javascript+HTML/XML and back end VBscript/.NET code.\n\n There is no actual code (except your javascript, or generated javascript) that gets pushed to the web browser.  Early ActiveX solutions sent an executable to the browser, but these are no longer used in modern development - unless it is a large bundle of extra browser capability (like Adobe Reader, Flash/Shockwave plugins, etc)\n\n You ASP or ASP.NET code runs on the server via an IIS-controlled service. It is not visible, and cannot be pirated by anyone outside your firewall (the web clients).  If you are saying your code is be hacked off this server, your security hole lies in the configuration of your network and IIS server, not in your programming paradigm.\n\n That said, use safe coding practices.  Read and understand how to configure your web server, and obey the rules of never using usernames/passwords or other private network information from within your javascript or HTML layers.  If you're writing with ASP.NET (highly recommended) then most of these things are taken care of, except for the locking down of your network.  That you have to do outside of whatever sites you're publishing.\n\nYour LAN may be giving people access to your IIS machine.  If this is the case, turn off the guest account and all other accounts for that machine.  Do not develop on that machine, but simply on your own machine, then install the application when you're finished (prevents attacks from folks who know how to attach a debugger using the frontpage extensions to your IIS).  On the IIS machine, save just one login for installing, and use anonymous access for to web site.  Hope this helps.

◙ If your host allows it you are better off using .htaccess and .htpassword. If not then use the following.\n\n◙ Hosted Password Protection Cgi Scripts:\n\n► http://www.cgispy.com/\n► http://www.sitegadgets.com/\n► http://www.bravenet.com/\n\n◙ OR use these tools to make a JavaScript password protection script for your pages. However the hosted cgi scripts are better.\n\n► http://www.htmlbasix.com/passwordprotect.shtml\n► http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/login-coder.html \n► http://www.searchbliss.com/webmaster_tools/password.htm

Dear Mike\nThere is feature built into Internet Explorer that prevent you from logging on to Websites containing adult or objectionable material material. If some one else uses your Computer, they might have setup the password. Ask them.

When you use Internet Explorer, it shows a little lock in the bottom bar when it's using "SSL" (a secure web connection).\n\nIf you want to be really sure, you can download a packet sniffer, like ethereal, and actually look into your web traffic.  When you download an unencrypted page like www.yahoo.com, you'll be able to see the "clear text" of the traffic.  When you view your account balance at wellsfargo.com, you'll see that it's encrypted.

It depends what platform your web application is written in. If it is PHP, there is a library called aspell which has libraries that will check spelling on strings. There is also a java port of aspell.
