Did you notice our new, cute little button at the bottom of Beeex.net? It’s right under the Firefox 2 Badge and it says “We love Beeex”. Do you know how we made it? Here goes:

You might already have come across these buttons or badges while surfing the web. They are usually used for displaying meta and stats content. Now, you can easily make your own – using this free online button generator!

Of course, you could use Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, or another graphic program to design your own button. But this is a quick and easy way to generate them in just a minute. You simply fill in your preferred text, define border and background colors, and the button generator creates a badge for you to download and use on your site.

This is a goodie! If you run a website and you want a certain page to be password protected, this is what you need. Sometimes, you just don’t want to go through a CGI Script. So here comes the easier JavaScript solution!

This is an encrpyted password protection generator, fully web-based and free. It gives you JavaScript code to copy&paste into your HTML source code.

This is how it works: name a password of your choice, hit ‘Generate’, and the JavaScript code is being generated. You get code to copy&paste into your HTML file.

Using this script, you have to have a starting page to call the form (where the user has to input the password). Only if the correct password has been entered, the target HTML page opens. Plus: the JavaScript code is encrypted, so nobody can see the password by opening the HTML source.
