displaying viewers name on site
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows where i can look to do the following:
1)I would like to have our homepage display "Hello whoever" whenever a returning customer returns to our page. I am not to sure on how to do that.Any ideas on where i can look or does anyone know how to do that? I only want the persons name to appear if and only if they have previously ordered from us.
2)I want to be able to pay people a % of what is sold if they link to us. If someone comes to our site from a link on someone elses page, i want to know how to know where they came from so i can credit people money for displaying the link. DOes that make sense?

When you said order from you, I am assuming you will be using a database to hold your product info?
If you have a membership system where the users is in a database and their information can be stored in a cookie then whenever they return to your site you can make it say Hello ... whoever with a simple line of code.
Thats one way...

Hi Adam,
Are you on your own server? Do you have access to cgi? If not, two possibilities:
1) the referrer property -- tells you where the user came from. You can put it in a cookie or pass it along as needed.
2) have unique links: link1 directs to home1; link2 to home2; etc... all feed into the main site.
