sorry, I know this is an html question, but I figured it was pretty zope related.
Josh, This is a "zope@zope.org" question, not a "zope-dev@zope.org" question, so I've moved the thread to there. You can do what you want in a couple of ways: 1: Cookies Can your HTTP clients use Cookies? You can send a cookie on one page and retrieve it on the next. Look at the "Zope Developer's Guide" and for information on Cookies and the RESPONSE variable. Watch out though -- if you pass data in a cookie, and expect to use that data retrieved later, you could be opening yourself up to a security risk. A client could change the data in the cookie to mean something different, and you might never find out. 2: Sessions Use one of the NNNSession products, such as FSSession or SQLSession. These use cookies behind the scenes, but present you with a nice programming interface. Also, your actual data (session variable and so forth) live on the server. The cookie just tells the server where to find them. Thus, no part of your data is entrusted to the client. I'd suggest you look at the FSSession product: http://www.zope.org/Members/gaaros/FSSession Or perhaps HappySession: http://www.zope.org/Members/hungjunglu/Products/HappySession -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
