Alternatively it also supports values by post, if you want to post value as json or some other format. But I suspect that was added in 4.3 together with 'set_and_exit' which is to be able to use it in ajax calls without regenerating a full page in the background. Note: value & name has a limit of 100 chars each, I suspect this is because preferences are cached to session, and thus can't be of unlimited size. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

It seems that variables stored with this system are recorded in session too.
