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,

Thanks McKirahan. I'll give it a try. It sure is nice knowing you're out there to help out.
Thanks much, and have a Happy Holiday Season.

McKirahan,
I tried your suggestion, and it works just great with IE. But can't seem to get any prefill with
Netscape. Doesn't Netscape allow prefills?
Thanks,
Don

Change
document.getElementById("data").value = what;
to
document.forms[0].data.value = what;
What version of NS are you running?
I don't know when getElementById() was supported.

It wouldn't matter.
As I've said to you a couple of times in the past, document.getElementById
is *NOT* - I repeat, *NOT* - allowed to return elements that have a
matching name. IE, if you haven't noticed by now, is not a browser that
should be used for primary testing of Web documents. It's too lenient - a
very bad thing in my opinion.
If you need to retrieve elements document-wide based on their names, use
the document.getElementsByName method. Alternatively, use the forms and
elements collection, which I think is always preferable when accessing a
form control within a form.

Mike,
The rules keep changing and it's hard to keep up.
Can you point me to some good documentation regarding
document.getElementsById
and
document.getElementsByName
usage? Thanks.

[snip] Can you point me to some good documentation
I find that the W3C DOM specifications
<URL:http://www.w3.org/DOM/DOMTR.html#DOML2> 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].
regarding
document.getElementsById
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-getElBId>
<URL:http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_doc_ref48.html#1025944>
and
document.getElementsByName
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-71555259>
<URL:http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_doc_ref49.html#1025973>

[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.
