DRA> ok ... then I guess I need to know how to convert it from a string to a DRA> dictionary. Is that possible? Is there something like _.dict(cookie) DRA> that will work? not sure. i would guess you would have to make your own format/parser according to your needs. Tough if you are to handle all cases on a general basis, simple if you know what the dicts will be like. :) - also : there is a limit (255 ?? ) to how long cookie strings can be , so cookies are really not a very good tool for complex data storage You could prehaps get around the problem by using sessions instead ? -- Geir Bækholt
