Track users without cookie support? 1

[level1]

Hi everyone. I am building a web site on ASP and already used sessions.

Although my users are people that have no knowledge of cookies e.t.c.

All i want is a way of tracking users without cookie support and session objects...

More specifically is any anyway to allow them log on to my site without the use of session objects?

There is not much i need to store from them just basic info such as Password Username and email... thats all.

And once registered to allow them do their stuff without sessions but still recognised as registered...

Any sujestions where to look at?

Ok, the simplest way I can think to do this would be to have a database their use information will be stored in so that you can validate them when they log in, then just make sure you pass their username in every link or form you have in the page (I would suggest using the querystring) and check it at the top of every page to make sure that the username is not null.

Things to look into:
ADO objects for database work
Request.QueryString for getting data back out of the querystring (ie, address:

http://www.mysite.com/myPage.asp?aVar=aValue

aVar=aValue is a querystring variable/value pair.)


That should be all you need to do what you were looking for.

http://www.w3schools.com

has a good reference for both ASP and ADO as well as tutorials on all of these subjects.
