I want to be able to redirect the user to another url on my site, and send
information to the tcl script residing at that url (register_proc) using
form data.. without the URL including the content of what I am sending.. so
I can then operate on that sent data without it being painfully clear what
that data is to the average joe user... I don't want to use a database and
store temporary data and refer back to that... it would make it more complex
and add to the database usage in areas that don't need more of it...
I'll grab the latest OpenACS stuff and take a look at that as well as Scotts
stuff when he releases his next round :)
Thank you.. :)
