Web sites that rely on user identification, information, and activity 
on more than one page will typically employ session files and 
variables. A session is the connection between the browser and the 
server. Session files and variables are commonly used in CGI scripts 
and Active Server Pages to preserve a Web page's state and critical 
information, such as form data and user-specified display criteria. 
While information like passwords should continue to be persisted 
through server-side solutions with robust security, unsure information 
can be persisted on the client across sessions. The active sample page 
demonstrates how to introduce client-side data persitence finction into 
your page as needed. This skill enables to reduce the host processing 
load because it is a sort of distributed computing solution. The page 
actually shows the way to use the userData Behavior component as a 
session data passing.
