Hi,

I have a webpage that members login to. I want the initial page of my website to go directly to the login page, but once members have logged in once the site doesn't ask them to log in again unless they logout. However, is there a javascript (or other form of code) that I can put on the login page so that when an already logged in user returns to the site, it wont show the log in page but another page.

Any help would be much apreciated!

Pete

Hi Peter,

Try a search on Google for "Cookie Redirect" scripts.

Thanks, found one that works!

One problem though, the site I added it to needs to have a logout page, is there some 'onload' code that I can use in the header of my logout page that will delete the cookie that was created upon login?

No I dont think so, you won't be able to delete files on the users machine as thats a security risk. I think what happens on most sites like this is that they "reset" the cookie, ie issue a new one that says "This user is logged out" probably using unique ids and timestamping or some such thing. The site probably then checks for the existence of this cookie (also against the date and time) when the user returns. If it doesn't find the cookie, then it will look for the existence of the "Logged in today" cookie. If it doesn't find that either then the user hasn't logged in today.

Bit vague I know, but thats my understanding of it.
