Sessions are server side, so no... >Basically - we have an existing site, but we are planning to add >languages etc too it, >If we store the language selection (& maybe other variables) as >sessions - will it work for all browsers etc (I do know once you close >the window, the sessions are erased, but cookies can be kept for a >while)..... That's the way to do it. In fact, it's quicker, because you don't have to read the cookie from the users machine. As a matter of interest, the session is not closed as soon as the window is closed - it doesn't actually know that the window has been closed. It just dies, usually after 30 minutes of no activity. If you get back to the site within that time, you can reconnect to your session. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://www.hotcosta.com/comm_1.htm
