Check boxes on a web page (FrontPage 2002)

Hello - I have two questions:
1) The 1st one is about check boxes (or radio buttons or any form of marker)
on a web page. I'm familiar with the "Forms" functionality but I'm looking
for something a little simpler. I've created a members list on a web page by
just typing in each individual name, I want the users to be able to go to the
page and select an option by clicking a check box or radio button, etc. I
want that selection to stay populated until unchecked regardless of when. I
do not want the selections to be sent to an email or pushed to a database.
Any suggestions? I tried busting a Form apart, deleting the confirm and
reset buttons and just keeping the boxes which 'sort of' worked but the check
marks do not stay checked once you leave the page.
2) The 2nd question is around password protect. I think I saw information
that says you can password protect a page or site but wasn't sure if that's
something I can do through Front Page itself or if it has be done at the
server level. My home page is the free deal you get like with many ISP's so I
won't be able to drive anything from the server level.
Thanks for any info anyone might have. Have a good day! Larry
 
1) Form fields (unique to a user) cannot persist w/o writing to a Db
(or using cookies - which may not be allowed by many users)
2) If the site does not have the FP SE and you do not have access to the server you can't protect a page

Thanks for the info Stefan. I figured that would be the case with #2.
For #1 then I still have the question... how can I allow a user to my site
add, change or update some sort of status marker and have that status marker
remain in tact on the page until someone changes it. Should I not be using a
form? Can I add a checkbox or other button outside of a form or even a text
box that can be altered or marked and it stay that way until they, me or
someone else changes it?
 
You need to store the value in a DB or in a cookie
