Client/Server Cookies Question

by original eggman . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

Any way a server can set a cookie that the client can read from an Offline version of the site on HD?

We have a website designed to be accessed both ONline and OFFline from a Hard Disk Install on a laptop.

MUCH functionality added by storing sales reps Name, Address, etc. in Cookie to “Pre-fill” in a lot of forms.

User fills out Master form OFFline and cookie saved.
Next time they go ONline, this is sent to the server and the server sends back as a cookie, no problem for ONline use.
PROBLEM: If user FIRST fills out form ONline the server can read it’s own cookie, but they must fill out form while OFFline again so the cookie can be read OFFline.
All browsers 4.0+ but some Macs/NetScrape so an OCX not a solution.

Elegant solutions appreciated, kludges greatfully accepted.
