if you are using asp why not use a session variable to hold the user state (if admin or not)? If the session variable ie. session("admin") = true then display links or not display links. if session("admin") = true then <a href="link.asp">Link</a> end if -----Original Message----- From: javascript-admin at LaTech.edu [mailto:javascript-admin at LaTech.edu]On Behalf Of Bill Marriott Sent: Saturday, 14 July 2001 5:22 PM To: javascript at LaTech.edu Subject: [Javascript] General design question Hi Everyone, I'm building a web database application where I want to limit the use of some of the links on all the pages to the administrator. The login page will determine the admin. Which is the best way to carry the admin variable from page to page? and Can I hide the admin links from everyone else? thanks Bill _______________________________________________ Javascript mailing list Javascript at LaTech.edu http://www.LaTech.edu/mailman/listinfo/javascript
