Storing the user info in e-commerce application on Domino

E-Commerce
There are two main ways of doing it:
* storing the customer info on the URL as it's passed between each form or agent (look at hotmail.com for an example of how this can be done)
* use server-side cookies (there's an article in Dec 1999 edition of www.dominopower.com on doing this, with sample db)
Yes you can set a cookie from LotusScript or @Function but only by writing out a <META tag into the HTMLHead field. see:

The other way is to write some JavaScript that set the Cookie. I prefer this because you can then test whether the Cookie was accepted by the browser (remember, users can choose not to accept cookies...)
