>If I add password access to a web page using JavaScript, do I need to pass the password to the server or can I have JavaScript load the password protected web page without having a program running on the server that receives the JavaScript output from the web page password form field? But my guess is that the server has to receive the password and then load the password protected web page.

If you are storing the passwords on the server, you will have to send the data from the client to the server and have it validated.

If you send the passwords down to the client (not very secure) you can use javascript to validate it.
