Hello,
The site is for a ticket tracking system, if a CSR has a window open and is
working on company A - I would like to save
some information about company A in a session variable. Since the session is stored in
the DB I figured it was save.
Then if the CSR need to look up another company and opens another window I want to
make sure that the session variable I
just set containing company A is not over written.
... Is there a better way to do this ... I was hoping to not have to pass variables
between each page by including them
in the URL.
Michael.
