User logged in (and logged in on all pages)

Hello,


If i get a user to log in, after entering there username and password, when they go to other pages, how do i keep them logged in??? like this asp.net site, it says at the top, logged in as:Breenan, and cant see my username in the url address bar....


Any help????





Thanks again.

There are many ways to store state information besides in a querystring (which shows up in the address bar)...


One common one is a Session variable which acts like a global variable for the entire application. The name could also be gotten from the database, every time the page loads, or it could even  be stored in a cookie.


All these methods will save the username or any other info accross all pages of a web application...


hope this clears things up,
