[Javascript] General design question

[Filipiak, Bob (Contractor)]

Basically yes but you also need a table to identify who has Admin access.
The visitor would enter their userid and your asp page would check that id
against the table and set a variant to TRUE. Then the page would loop
through all the links in the DB and skip any Admin links as appropriate. 
 
You really should join one of the ASP lists at asplists.com like
http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspclient.asp
<http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspclient.asp>  or
http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspfreeforall2.asp
<http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspfreeforall2.asp>

Bob,
 
Do you mean store a list of all the links in a table and flag them Admin Yes
or No?
Then use something like:
 
if  (after SQL in link table) tblLink.fldAdmin = true then
<a href="link.asp">Link</a>
end if

Better yet, since you are using a DB why not modify the table to have a
column with a Admin flag for those links that are for Admin only and
validate the visitor against the db that way you don't have to rely on
cookies being enabled. Just a thought.

if you are using asp why not use a session variable to hold the user state 
(if admin or not)? If the session variable ie. session("admin") = true then 
display links or not display links. 

if session("admin") = true then 
        <a href="link.asp">Link</a> 
end if
