	NEED COOKIE ADVISE I want to give a userid for each user and track it by userid. I need to store it in a cookie . What method will be beneficial for that process ? Using javascript or Server side scripting (asp.net) will be more effective ? On Jun 6, 3:23 pm, "in da club" <xx> wrote: > I want to give a userid for each user and track it by userid.

Gotta squeeze that extra bit of performance out of our cookie-setting routine and do it by hand. Good plan. Look, Session uses Cookies. In fact, it sets a Cookie containing something that you can essentially think of as a UserID. As in, it does exactly what you're looking to do already. And it does it just as fast as you could by hand, so your "performance" claim only makes you look like you haven't done your homework. Look into FormsAuthentication. Chances are it does exactly what you're looking for.

Cookies are tiny pieces of textual information, no use at all for "storing large objects", so your comparison is meaningless. > I can use javascript to write and read cookies without exhausting my > server resources ;) What about the (increasing number of) people who disable cookies and/or JavaScript...? -- http://www.markrae.net
