What am I missing Select and compare

[notsheeple]

I have a page that is a product search results page. I wish to allow the user to check a box of 2 or more items and then hit a "Compare Selected" button/link.

I can't figure out how to do this.
Do I use a temp table to keep track of the selected items? or Cookies?

Using ASP w/ sql2k

Compare them in what context? I am not sure I follow entirely...

Well, let's say you where searching for cell phones. They have different properties like talk time, weight, storage size etc.
(my site is not about cell phones) If there are 20 or 200 items that match your search criteria, I want to give you the ability to select 2 or more "cell phones" and compare them side by side.

I am not sure if I should use a temp table that is good for the session or simply cookies.
