Toby Dickenson wrote Are you suggesting that the session token should actually store session data? As an alternative SessionManager, it appears to have some advatanges that others do not.
It also has a major disadvantage, if you don't want the users to be able to monkey with their session settings.
Its also the only sensible option that lets you bookmark your place in a session, and return to it much later (which interests me more).
This of course assumes you put _everything_ in the session. This could become quite horribly Notes-like in it's URL.
Isnt the tree tag an example of one Session use case? It smells alot like a session to me.
Note that www.ekit.com's tree tag (go to, e.g. http://www.ekit.com/ekit/Info/) stores the tree tag state in the session. It was a simple enough mod to the tree tag (btw, in case no-one's repeated it recently, the tree tag is Pure Evil From Planet Ten, and must be destroyed :) Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
