forms-based authentication and HTML

I'm designing a web application (to run on a commercial hosting
service). I need to be able to do forms-based authentication,
to validate users against a database. I need this authentication
to work for access to HTML files as well as .aspx files.

How would I do that? ASP.NET seems to provide authorization
only for forms, and IIS does not offer forms-based authentication,
unless it's been added in IIS 6.

Thanks,
Diane
