Pass Username Along To Other Pages In JS With Cookies?
Dec 8, 2010
I am trying to set up a page that will allow a user to enter their name into a text field and click a submit button. When the button is clicked, the name that the user entered is passed into a cookie, and displayed on the page at the same time.
However, I am having issues getting the name (i.e. the value of the cookie) to be passed along to other pages within the site as well.
I am using jquery to code the JS with. I have the first page all set up and it works beautifully, but when I try to use the getter for the cookie on the second page I get nothing. I am using a cookie plugin for jquery that I found here.
I want to supply the previous page in current window with a string from current page and the content in the previous one is changed accordingly. I use <DIV> innerHTML to accomplish the DHTML and run below JS in current page when deciding to go back.
But the "document" still refers to current page, even though I add a document.clear() and location.replace() statements right after window.history.go(-1).
I find the archieve of this Group mentions a few solutions for a similar problem, however they don't seems to work for my scenario.
The first solutin is to append the string to the previous URL. But my first page was actually loaded from a HTML file and there is no CGI program to receive the string.
The second solution is to use cookie to pass the infor. It seems the string is to saved in the "document" object though. Since the "document" is not updated, I won't be better off. Another problem is this solution requires cookie to be turned on in the browser.
I am new to jquery. The project reuirements specify using jquery and java scripting. I have several web pages that set variables. I need to access these variables on another page.
What is the best way of doing this? Can yoy give me an example?
On the response to my first post, "Passing Variables", I see how to use the cookies. How would I use session variables? I thought you could not access them via jquery.
I need to pass values from one html page to another without using forms. Is this possible . Can i access these values using javascript.. Please help me with a code sample
I'm trying to create a simple checkout system that utilizes cookies to pass information from page to page. Currently, my entire script works fine except for the read cookie portion. I cannot figure out what is wrong with it. It has been validated and the syntax is fine; it just doesn't work. I use the function with the onload call on my html file such as:
var el = document.createElement("iframe"); el.setAttribute('id', 'ifrm'); document.body.appendChild(el); el.setAttribute('height', 250);
[Code].....
And am putting it between <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> tags in the <body> section of my site. But, it only works in certain areas of the page.
I need a javascript that will accept the username "frederic" and the password "ozanam" on my page "member,html" that will allow those who input this data to access my page "member2.html".
I had a script that did this but when I updated the page on which it resided I did not keep a copy of the javascript. Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http:www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I am really not a javascript developer (far more ASP.NET) but I need to set the username of a user in a cookie using javascript. So just before the form is submitted I use document.cookie="Username=" + document.form.ID.toString(); Where ID is the name of the text box where the Username is input All this returns is [object].
I have Ten div and one textbox in a page. Every div contain single username. Now I want that after clicking on one div, the textbox value will be the username in that div value contain. How can I do that.
i have this site: www.streets-of-la.com and my player keep complaining about having to login each time... they told me to make a save passwrod option... but i dont know anything about javascript... how can i make so if they save the password, they will be auto-loged in each time they come to the site for 24h?
I am trying to work out if there is a way that I can use a target url as a simple password (or even username) at a log in screen.
Essentially I want to be able to send people to a different URL depending on their login details but without having to do anything too complicated or secure.
I have a jquery dialog with a registration form in it. My problem is: I want to check if the username (input) already exists in the database, if so I want to return a error.
I know I have to use AJAX... but how?
Explanation of my form:
(this is a dialog) My form: Username: testuser ERROR: username already exists Password: Name:
Currently I'm trying to do the following: { config : { user : "name", mod : true }}
That is JSON nr 1, now I got the following { config : { mod : false }}
What I need as a result is: { config : { user : "name", mod : false }}
If I do a $.extend(json1, json2) then I will lose my user name. If I do a $.merge(json1, json2) I will keep my username, but my mod will not be overwritten.
So I posted a question on here and I'm pretty new to jQuery... I can't figure out exactly how to do this. I'm trying to, when a field blurs, run a query to see if the username is in the database, and echo whether the username is available or not if it's in the database. I have a little snipet of my page and I just don't see how to specify how to tell the script which input field, when it gets blured, to run the query...
I put together this quick form that allows a user to sign up - the data.php just basically checks a mysql db if the username exists, and either-if it doesn't exist - create an entry in the database with the username, pw, and email and echo "Congratulations, you are added";-if it does exist - it echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!";his is the weird part though. This works perfect in FF, but IE6 has a weird issue (I only have IE6 here can't test anything else) - With IE6, if the page is freshly loaded, it gives me the correct message - that is, if i put a non-existent name in, it does the echo"Congratulations, you are added"; but if I click on submit again - it doesn't echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; (it does on FF) -If I start a fresh page and input a name that's already in the database it does echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; -- but if i change the username to something that doesn't exist - it doesn't change the echo (i.e. it still says "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; - but the record is created in mysql! code:
I've been going bonkers trying to find the answer to this question... I'm hoping somebody out there can help me. Our network environment is Active Directory and our web server is Windows 2003 IIS 6.
I've got an ASP page that we include into each of our pages to act as our companywide header. We force users to authenticate into our Intranet site, and we are able to display the following information about them on each page:
Welcome (username) Today is (whatever)
Can Javascript or Dhtml or something else get me this information? We have thousands and thousands of webpages and I don't want to have to use the .asp extension on every single one if I don't have to... but I can't find a way to display the username in the header without it =| Somebody mentioned using File System Objects, but I haven't yet experimented in that arena. Code:
