If so, it'd be much easier to "hide" it in a query string as an id-type value. I'm pretty sure I remember reading something about that. ie, an IP could be represented as something like "238473763" (and it wasn't just the IP with the periods removed ;p). i --------------------------------------- For unsubscribe and other options, including the Tip Harvester and archive of TheList go to: http://lists.evolt.org Workers of the Web, evolt !
