Need help prefilling input field usin JS

[Don]

I thought I had this figured out, and have been able to do it in PHP on the server, but, how do I
prefill an input field with a cookie value using JavaScript in a client-side page?

Thanks,
Don

Can you point me to some good documentation
I find that the W3C DOM specifications
<URL:http://www.w3.org/DOM/DOMTR.html#DOML 2> are fine. It just takes a
little while to get used to how the information is presented. Navigation,
especially within the PDFs, can be a pain, though. Alternatively, the
(incomplete) documentation provided by Mozilla
<URL:http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref> also gives an accurate
account of the specification and is slightly more readable.

I'm afraid that as I've never needed to read other sources, I can't give
you any. There's always Google.

The only other suggestion is to use another browser if you can. Both
Mozilla (Suite and Firefox) and Opera are free (and quite small), and
conform to the various specifications much better than IE probably ever
will[1].

[1] After all, now that it's introduced erroneous behaviour that I have no
doubt authors have used (and will continue to), Microsoft will have to
supporting it in future versions.
