We're talking about very different things. A page on a webserver won't
really benefit from your actions, not even on that same windows box.

If we're going to talk HTTP-authentication (which will not result in a
pop-up screen but a prompt from the browser itself), this is also the wrong
ng (OK, the javacsript was off too). That's server dependant: for apache,
check: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html
