Setting cookies in JavaScript?

[rjoseph]

Hi Guys

I think I have a really easy one for you.

I am currently using the following script to store information in cookies:

-------------SCRIPT--------------
<%
response.cookies("prefs")("make")="Aston Martin"
response.cookies("prefs")("model")="Vanquish"
response.cookies("prefs")("price")="£40000"
For Each cookie in Response.Cookies
Response.Cookies(cookie).Expires = now()+365
Next
%>
-------------END-------------

This works just fine in my ASP pages but now I need to incorporate the same method into some xml pages and therefore believe I need to use Javascript. I have spent hours reading numerous (how to set cookies in Javascript) articles and have not found a simple example that matches what I want to achieve above.

Can anyone please put me out of my misery and provide me with a simple piece of code that I can use in my xml page to achieve the above?

If so, then that would be great.

I look forward to hearing from you

Look this is a Java Forum.
Java!=JavaScript :-)
So post the code in JavaScript forum.
And have a look at this code ......

function createCookie(name,value,days) {
    if (days) {
        var date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
        var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
    }
    else var expires = "";
    document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}
 
function readCookie(name) {
    var nameEQ = name + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
    }
    return null;
}
 
function eraseCookie(name) {
    createCookie(name,"",-1);
}
 

Good Luck with your try :-)

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.
