@Jord - The date will be passed in or retrieved from a script and would be the server date. My concern was that the date would be intercepted/modified in some fashion, but since the end result is retrieved from the server, the server script will just have a check to make sure the date is right to release it.
Thanks for all the ideas from everyone, I enjoyed the discussions. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions as I move through this project. Kevin On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 3:17 PM, Jordan L.
