Howdy Andrew As far as your cookies situation , might I suggest the HTML5 localStorage feature.
I've found the feature to be a lot more useful than traditional cookies. Of course one of the things I did early on was to add a couple of extra functions to the storage prototype, so that I could more easily stash objects. Storage.prototype.setObject = function(key, value) { this.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value)); } Storage.prototype.getObject = function(key) { var szItem =this.getItem(key) ;// Attempt to fetch the object from local storage if(szItem ==null)return null ;// If null , bail try { var oResult= JSON.parse(this.getItem(key)) return oResult ;// Parse the string to an object. }catch(oError){ return null; }// End Try/Catch } On 10/11/2011 09:11 PM, Andrew Shellshear wrote: > Heya chaps, > > I'm writing a game in SVG.
