Yea, you should have gotten to the catalogue that way. The login screen on the frontpage takes you to a wholesale section if you put in the correct username and password that allows business dealers to purchase items wholesale.
The javascript allowed them to put in the u/p combination and go to the wholesale side by referencing the htaccess file. By using user:pass@url type URL, it would go in. Over the last few days, it has stopped working, so after much research and running Windows update myself, the best I can tell is Windows doesn't allow that anymore...
If you go to
www.bentsndents.com/Wholesale_Catalog, it will pop up a box to allow you to enter it there, but it works and looks much more professional if I can do it the way I have it with the login right on the homepage.
