State Management Intro by Charles Carroll
Anyone using a browser is accessing the web via
HTTP. HTTP is a stateless protocol. What that means is every page fetched from
the website has NO MEMORY of the last page fetched.
Whenever we devise some "tricks" so
that a web page seems to remember some previous information we call that maintaining
state with the user.
Keep in mind no matter how we do this there are
limits. Each method may not work in some narrow situation.
A listserver exists where this is the ONLY topic
discussed, see:
