Cookie - get data

[Clive Swan]

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

But it does not appear as if you have understood them or even tried to
do so.

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?
If anyone could help, would appreciate it.

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
