The cookie you created called user can be used just like any other
variable - from anywhere within your application just call #cookie.user#.

Subject: cookies and keeping track of ID
Hello cf-talk,
I have an application I'm working on that uses code from FX
password. This is used to password protect a directory. I have not
used cookies before, but noticed that the code in FXpassword sets a
cookie:
<CFCOOKIE NAME="Password" VALUE="good">
this is used to check for the value of good for access to cfm pages
in the DIR.
So, is there a way that i can also add the primary key of ID for
that user also, this way I can access his information from page to
page??
Do I need to set a whole new cookie?
<CFCOOKIE NAME="USER" VALUE="#ID#">
If so, then how do I call for it and get the user ID??
I realize I may not even be close here, and therefore can't expect
anyone to give me a tutorial on cookies, but anyone know any web
resources on CF cookie usage? I do have BF WACK but think I need to
read more before this sinks in.
Best regards,
Jeff Fongemie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
