Hey All, I'm looking at options for building a mini shopping cart (mini meaning it will not hold more than say 5 items). I do not want to use SESSION variables, so I need a method of passing arrays or structures between pages.
One method I thought about was using a specially delimited list stored in a cookie to hold the items (each line item seperated by | and each element of each line item seperated by something else). So position 1 in each line item would hold quantity, position 2 would hold price etc. (i.e. 2^5|5^10 would read "2 line items...first one with a quantity of 2 and a price of 5...second line item with a quantity of 5 and a price of 10). Being that there would never be a large amount of line items, the storga capacity of a cookie wouldn't be an issue. The above would work, but it's a tad kludgy for my liking. So, I'm looking for some WDDX/XML related solutions that might do the same thing. Requirements: Must work with Win2K running CF 5 Thanks in advance for any help. Let me know if I can clarify anything ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm. VP & Director of E-Commerce Development Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. t. 250.920.8830 e.
