Most of our sites use headers which are include files - we placed the cookie code in these files.
Unfortunately a lot of the sites within this domain dont have include files we can just place the cookies in.
I am thinking of other ways to impliment this. The reality is, most of our users dont come in through the front page. So I am thinking of creating a widget throughout the site to do show recent visits within the entire doman.
The user trail, of course usually doesnt go from one virtual domain to the next within the main site, although its possible.

I guess you should put your url in your profile.
Hey, I rather like that idea!
Any way of leaving bread-crumbs of the past visited pages during your first visit on the site? (i.e. always the last four pages of the site you are visiting?).
I would appreciate a sticky-mail version of what you did if that is not asking to much?

thanks.
What I mean is the following:
Irrespective of where the surfer enters your site (with Google this tends to be the inner pages more and more), I would like to leave a trail on the top of each page showing the last pages where the surfer was on my site.
For example: the surfer enters the site on the page "blue-widgets" then goes to "FAQ" - then to "site-map" and then to "feed-back-form".
What I would like is some java-script showing the following on the top:
-> "blue-widgets" -> "FAQ" -> "Site-map"
If you have a strict pyramid structure in your site this should not be so difficult, but if you are giving the visitor options outside that hierarchy, this is less evident.
The surfer can than oversee where he came from and click on a page three of four levels back. - Just an extra service to the visitor.

A very interesting idea.

Please don't keep dropping urls. The moderators are overworked as is and they are only going to censor them anyway. Use your profile link for sites you want people to check. Moderators might think your a spammer and drop the whole thread.
There are also no check my site out threads aloud either.
"Dynamic Breadcrumbs" exactly, thats what I mean, It sounds good as well!
as far as dynamic bread crumbs, yes thats what we did. Except you dont need to use cookies for this Javascript can take care of it alone.
I do what you are talking abut with server side scripting in asp. I use the global.asa to create cookies on application on start. I would think all other server side languages have the same ability. Client side on the other hand might not be very easy unless you use a js that every page had to have if it is in your network.
nor soft.... ;)
