G'day all

Thanks for the reply btw :-)

I already had the hidden field set up and had sort of tried the redirect method... I don't quite understand how you inform index.shtml that the user has already voted

You're saying, unless I missed the point, that on the cookie you print something to indicate they have voted ? and then run a check before you print the form out as to whether they have voted ?

Hang on, maybe I do understand :P

Cheers - it does help :-)
