Why would you want to use Javascript? Just have some code at the top of
each page which
-checks for the cookie
-if it doesn't exist
-identify customer, login page or however you choose
-set cookie
-update database
-if it does exist
-update the database with some information pertinent to that page
Or are these straight HTML pages, thus the need for Javascript to do
something? I don't konw a lot of Javascript, but you could have it pop open
a PHP page in a child browser window, back in the Z-order so that it would
be behind your "main" page (only for Internet Explorer), and use it to do
the above steps.
For every page transition you would have to pass the appropriate parameters
to the child window and force it to refresh. You will have some trouble
with people who have Javascript and cookies turned off.
As I said, I don't know Javascript, so this is just off the top of my head.
A straight PHP solution would be preferable and I assume it's not possible
either because the ISP doesn't host it or for some political reason.
