You can set client variables one of three ways 1. in a cookie 2. in a dsn 3. in the registry.
Client variables like cookies persist in a physical location not ram and are best stored in a dsn, cause it allows a session state over a clustered environment. So its not actually a cookie but functions like one. jmc .. .. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Ferrigno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 4:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Cookie Blocking Is there any difference between setting a cookie on one page and going to testing it on another page and setting client variables on the first page and then testing them on a second page? Would setting a cookie be any better or different than creating a client variable (assuming you have client vars turned on)?

Since cookies are client side and CF is server side, the only way to determine if they're settable is if you go to a second page Set a test one on one page, jump to another page (NOT using CFLocation) and test for it's existance... Warning: If they have their browser set to "Choose" then they may say "No" to the cookies, but they might accept them if they knew they were important...
