Sure, if security is not a big deal. Essentially, you will be putting up a door that says "Please don't come in if you don't know the password". Anything that does not use server-side technology is likely using JavaScript, along with a file in a protected directory to store the passwords. This is not password protection, however. JavaScript can be disabled, which will cause the page to load. No doubt, this will be countered by hiding the content...but the content will still be viewable through the source. There are a few other ways, but if you have content that is truly worth protecting with a password, this is not a good way to go.
