I've done both of these. The JavaScript approach is the most scalable in terms of keeping load off your server. The mod_rewrite trick works well if you can't use JavaScript. It's particularly good when a whole group gets one version of the page. If there is too much difference in the page for either of these to be practical, caching the underlying data and running TT again is still pretty fast. - Perrin _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
