customize the text formatting of the date, enter an HTML start tag with attributes in the <open> text box and enter

Last Modified (form)
The Last Modified (form) action displays the date the page was last uploaded to the server. The date displays in a
form field and has the option to also display in a browser alert message.
Trigger the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnLoad. Choose Action > Message > Last Modified (form).
Enter the form name in the Form text box. (For Internet Explorer viewers, the form name cannot be “form”.) Enter
the text field name in the Field text box. Choose a numerical Date Format from the menu. To display the day of the
week as a word preceding the numerical date, select Include Day Of Week. An alert message that displays the date
appears by default. Select Disable Alert to not display this alert.
Open Alert Window
The Open Alert Window action lets you open an alert dialog box with a custom text message.
Trigger the action with a user-triggered event, browser-triggered event set to OnLoad, or with a timeline-triggered
event. Choose Action > Message > Open Alert Window. Enter the message that will appear in the Alert dialog box.
Or to retrieve text from a variable, click the small red “C” icon
adjacent to the Message text box to change it to a
blue circle icon , and choose a variable from the pop-up menu. To retrieve text from a browser-triggered action
set to OnCall in the head section, click the icon again to change it to a question mark icon , and select an action
from the pop-up menu.
Password
The Password action lets you protect pages with a reasonable level of security without any server-side scripting.
Unlike other JavaScript password-protection scripts, this action uses an encrypted password and cannot be bypassed
by turning off JavaScript in the browser or viewing the source code. Creating the Password action consists of three
parts: using a provided HTML file to generate an encrypted password, naming the password-protected page appro­
priately, and applying a Password action to a page that refers to the password-protected page.
Although the Password action provides a reasonable level of security, it is still possible to bypass the password. It is
therefore not recommended for sites that require a high level of security. Also, the password-protected file must be
placed in a directory that contains a default root page such as index.html (depending on your ISP), so that the
contents of the directory cannot be viewed by entering the directory location into the browser.
