Also, I have an "edit with frontpage" button on my toolbar when using
Internet Exp. In the simple website that works in FP, I can click the
button, enter username and password and it all displays in FP no problem
ready to be edited. When I try this on the other site, I get the same
problem, the password won't work. Password works fine with FTP
though.....strange.
