login/password with cookies?

[Plebius]

I seem to remember a javascript form that remembers things... You can find it at http://www.javascripts.com ... it's called 'form that remembers' or something like that.

Hi...

My client want to 'personalize' a page. Basically by creating user accounts (by login name and password) so that when a user logs in, they don't have to fill out the form completely... the name address and phone/email already are in the form fields.

How would I go about doing this, and where can I find out info about it? (I am assuming it's through cookies, but I don't have a lot of experience with them)

(a little background)
We have a secure site.. with a teeny store which is processed via a PERL script. It works fine, but frequent customers are complaining because they have to fill in their info when they are ordering. (fyi... we are NOT going to be keeping track of their credit card info... they will need to fill that part out every time they visit)

thanks...

Hi,

If you are not going to store the credit card number, it would be easiest to store the rest of the info using cookies.

OR, you could create a database on your server and require a login.
