Cookie - get data

Hi,

I have found a few scripts that write user preference to a cookie.

I still cannot access the cookie to get user preferences.
Also to 'hide' the input form once a user has selected them.

If anyone could help, would appreciate it.
I have spent 4 days and have not cracked it.

Thanks

Clive

You can at the most access cookies you set yourself, i.e. that were set
by a script contained in a document of the same second-level domain.
Also to 'hide' the input form once a user has selected them.
Pardon? Should the users not see what they selected?

This is as bad as error description as any. What have you tried?
What exactly did not work?

Hi Thomas,

I cannot make sense of cookies.

I can use cookies to store the user input.

I would like the user to login + choose screen colour, etc.
The second login, I would like to use the cookie to give a greeting,
use the screen colour. I do not want them promted each time.

I cannot see how you use the cookie script to 'extract' the user
choice, the second, third time, etc.

Thanks

Clive

I have a record set (rs) that contains 25 barcodes values that I set to true in a cookie. (see code section below) If I read the cookie from within the same page that created it, I see all 25 values. But if I redirect to another page and read the cookie only 18 of the values remain. Even though I load the same 25 barcodes at login, the 18 that remain can differ each time.

Hi All, I have a page with a list of hyperlinks. I want to save information in a cookie about the fact that I entered an hyperlink or not. When I click one of the hyperlinks I want this stored in a cookie and a small bullit shown in front of the hyperlink, so when I reload the page I can immediately see which hyperlinks I already visited that day.

I'm trying to programmatically post data to another page within my ASP.Net app. Not POSTing is not an option (I can't store this data in my session, context, hidden fields, or anything else...I've exhausted all my other options, so I have to get this scenario working). Basically, if I POST the data normally, it works fine, except the target page has a new session ID, so I lost the session data that I *do* transfer around. However, if I...

Hi, In my website, i have a cookie that allows the user to remain logged in for upto 90days. So I'm setting the cookie expiration time to 90 days in the future from the time the user logs in. I've been testing my code and for some reason, the cookie expires randomly before even 24 hrs has passed. Yesterday it expired after 11hrs and 20mins. Any idea why my cookie expiration isn't working?
