Hey, no worries, we're all learning new things all the time.


(But I'd watch out for that broken caps-lock if I were you... some people

really don't like it. You can get more useful tips about the online world

by searching with term "netiquette" on Yahoo... lots of great stuff in

there.)


Yes, you can set cookies. It's a function of JavaScript, and is supported

by the major browsers.


Best path to learning JavaScript varies with the person, of course. I like

Nick Heinle's book "Designing with JavaScript" because he builds up a

number of useful examples, step by step. You can get a copy through

http://www.amazon.com/ , if you wish.


(The material is also available on JavaScript sites, but it can sometimes

be hard to search and to navigate to exactly what you wish... or maybe I'm

just old-fashioned and like paper.... ;)
