Safari read/write cookies with javascript?

Sam Wuebben

I am using a standard javascript that I downloaded from
javascriptsourc e.com to read from and fill in a form using cookies.
The page tests well in every browser except Apple's Safari (from
10.3.2)

Unfortunately, my clients daughter uses Safari so I have to get it to
work with it, even though most of his clients use IE.

What do I need to do to change the code so this will all work in
Safari?

The test pages can be seen at
http://www.mvldesign.com/form_cookie.html

When I run these pages on IE and look in the cookies I can see that
the cookie has been written as expected. Plus the form fills in on the
next page. In Safari I see that the cookie has not been written plus
the form doesn't fill in which is the whole reason for the code.

If there are any other sources of code that I can use with all
browsers including Safari I'd love to hear about them. Or any other
tutorials or ideas.

Thanks

I have been testing some javascript for my professional society web page, and found that I couldn't get Safari to save any cookies.

I found that the function sometimes tells me cookies are enabled and sometimes disabled, as follows: 1) Open the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
