The notepad uses an internal Flash technique to permanently store the notepad
data on the users system. No server side script or cookies are required.
Please note that the notepad data does not store the thumbnail images, but the
URL to the thumbnail instead. If you remove an image from your imaging server the
user will not see the thumbnail any more when opening the notepad later on.

The notepad plug-in provides the functionality
to post bookmarks in XML format to a web
server. Additionally the plug- in is capable of
reading an XML data file from the server.
Using a little server side script you can this way
setup a number of interesting communication
systems. For example a "send bookmarks by
email" option.
In this case you store the XML data file received from "User1‘s" notepad plug-in on a
web server and email a link to an FSI Viewer instance including the name of the
stored XML file returned by the web server to User2. This way User2 can see the
bookmarks and remarks created by User1.
Additionally you can provide predefined notepad data, for example to present hot
products, special offers and alike. In this case you provide the URL to a predefined
XML data file using the "LoadXML" parameter. This way the notepad on the client
computer loads the notepad data from this file instead of using any data stored
locally on the user‘s computer.
