Reading Browser Cookies With JavaScript...
Aug 28, 2007
Now, I am not talking about some kind of malicious coding, or spyware writing by any means, but I do need it to be able to read the cookies from a site other than my own. At least I think this is what is required. What I am trying to accomplish is this; I have a stats package setup on a different domain than my live website and I am using it to track the stats of the users on my site other than paying for stats service through some other company, and it seems to be working just as I need it to, only I would like for it to be able to do a little bit more. Right now, all it is capturing form the user is their IP address, browser information and host information on their ISP. But, I would like for it to be able do more. I would like for it to be able to retrieve certain cookies generated by a different site and show me the information in which the cookies hold... I am not talking about displaying passwords or any such thing like that, I just need certain information.

I have been using document.cookie to write and read cookies.
Unfortunately, when I open my page in Internet Explorer, I don't see
what I wrote to my cookie while in Netscape Navigator. Similarly, my
page that I opened in Netscape doesn't see what I wrote to the cookie
while in IE.
Surely there must be away for IE and Netscape to read the same
cookie information ??. Otherwise, what happens if a user just happens
to be browsing my page in both browsers? They'll expect things to be
there, and they won't be there because one browser doesn't see what
was written in the other.
Any ideas on how to get Netscape to read cookies written by IE, and
visa versa?

document.cookie="yourdrive="+driveletter+"; expires="+"; path=/";
document.cookie="maindrive="+menuletter+"; expires="+"; path=/";
They end up looking like this in the cookie:
yourdrive E ~~local~~/ 1088 647360864 29848791 647360864 29848791 * maindrive C ~~local~~/ 1088 647360864 29848791 647360864 29848791 *
So they must be being set. I must have tried a dozen cookie reading routines and I can't read either of them back! Can anyone do it? I am sure it must be simple. But all I get is "false" all the time. Code:

I'm not to good at javascript. I know VB.net, but I have not learned javascript yet. I am working on a project to get a survey to pop up for new visitors on the index page of our site.
What I need to do: On load look for a cookie, if that cookie is not found run a script telling the site to pull up another page in lightview [URL] using its own "on load" command. If the cookie is there the site will not open this other page.
What I've done: I already found a way to do most of this, but I can only use a hyper link as a trigger for the site to load the other page in lightview.
Here is a link of what I have so far: [URL]

So. I've been working on this stylesheet switcher for a school project, and basicly there are 3 layouts, "Standaard", "Zwart-wit" and "Printversie". What I want is that when you select one on (for example) the homepage, I want the other pages to apply the same stylesheet. I've been trying to do that with cookies, but it doesn't even work on one page.
PHP Code:
function setup() {
var current_style = read_cookie();
[code]....

I've looked on several websites and several threads here regarding writing and reading cookies with javascript, and I just can't seem to get it to work. All I want is a simple text box with 2 buttons: Save and Recall. Text entered into box is saved to a cookie when "Save" is pressed, and at a later date when "Recall" is pressed the saved text will show up in the box.

To read a cookie:
Code:
<script language=javascript>
<!--
var cook=document.cookie.split(";");
var pieces=cook[0].split("=");
document.writeln("Your javascript cookie is called: " + pieces[0] + "<br>");
document.writeln("Its value is: " + pieces[1]);
//-->
</script>

Is there a way to use Javascript to read a txt file, take all the words in the txt file one by one, then create a cookie out of each of them? Ideally, I'm also looking to create a prompt which asks the user if they want to set the cookie each time.The purpose of this is that I'm looking to create some basic browser based games (with information stored in txt files), so it doesn't have to be a script which works online. Everything is just run offline. If it makes a difference, it can also be, say, a doc file rather than a txt.I understand the idea of using activeX & IE to read the txt file, and after looking through this forum, I have found a way to load the entire txt into a form. I have not been able to advance my idea beyond that however.I've used Javascript before many times for webpages, but it generally comes down to me copying and pasting code, then just changing a few keys words. What I'm quickly trying to say there is that I can use js, but I'm not that much of an expert.

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:

I'm trying to get my form to save a user's data via cookies. I found a script at [URL], and it only seems to work if you refresh the page, but not if you close out the browser and restart.
<form action="process-contact.php" id="contact" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"/>

I created a simple cookie to save a high score and it works fine when I go to another site and come back without closing the browser, but when I close the browser and open a new one, the saved information is gone. This is what my save and load code looks like:
bestScore = parseInt(document.cookie);
document.cookie = bestScore.toString();

I'm extremely new to XML, tell me what needs to be fixed in my XML file
as well as in my javascript.
My XML file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<imapmail>
<message>
<subject>Testing, 123</subject>
<sender>Name <email@example.com></sender>
<date>1/2/03</date>
<size>640 KB</size>
<read>0</read>
</message>
</imapmail>
I'm accessing it with this javascript:
var sender =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("sender").item(0).firstChild.data;
I ultimately want to user to see that the sender is "Name
<email@example.com>". With the way the XML file is currently set up
(sender is Name <email@example.com>), the only that shows up
on the javascript end is Name. Is the way I'm storing it in my XML file
the best way to be doing it?

From javascript, I am opening a popup window and requesting a url, which sends a xml as a response to the popup window. From this javascript, I want to read that xml content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<aaa>
<vvvv><![CDATA[1]]></vvvv>
</aaa>
I tried
del_window=window.open("http://abc.com/_xmlservice","","width=1,height=1");
var ele = del_window.document.documentElement; //this is returning "HTML"
...
and
del_window.document.getElementsByTagName("xxx")
But nothing worked out.

I am writing a program that will allow a user to enter a webpage address into a form. Then it will download and display the webpage below the current one.
example
----------------------------------------------------
| _____________ |
| _____________enter web address | Load Button | |
| -------------- |
|_________________________________________________ __
| |
| |
| web page will be displayed here |
| |
|_________________________________________________ _|
Is there a way to download another web page using javascript and read
through it.
I am not too concerned with displaying the web page just downloading
it. Has anyone done anything like this? the closest I have found was a
procedure used by grease monkey "GM_xmlhtt" which is what I am looking
for.

Data I'm saving to a Cookie looks like this: "A,B,C^1,2,3" I need
everything to the left of the "^" to go in one input box, and
everything to the right in another input box when I load the Cookies
into my page. Any suggestions using Javascript? I think I can use
"split" somehow, but not sure exactly how to proceed.

I had no experience with cookies up to today. I read about the properties of cookies. Then I started to write a few lines of Javascript into my html-page:
function SetMyValue(name, val)
{
document.cookie = name+"="+val;
}
and
SetMyValue('firstname','michael');
I did not set the properties "expires" and "domain".
When I put the page to my server, called it with the IE 6 and looked
into the IE for my cookie, it was not there. But when I made a cgi program
that showed HTTP_COOKIE, I saw, that the IE was sending it. So I had
an invisible cookie with my IE. Only when closed the IE and opened it again,
it was lost.-

I stumbled upon a strange behaviour of the XMLHttpRequest.. Maybe I'm
just not well informed enough about its possibilities, so could someone
please confirm my question?
When I put plain javscript in a file that is read-in through a
XMLHttpRequest-object, it's like it is totally ignored. Eg. I have the
file ajax_include.html with in it's body the following lines
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
alert('some alert');
</script>
when I directly surf to the file, the alert pops up as expected, but
when I use a simple XMLHttpRequest to replace the contents of a div
with the contents of this page, the alert is not popping up, although
when I view the selection's source (Thank you, Firefox!), it is there!
When I place an anchor with an onclick-action (eg. alert('onclick')),
it works when I click it.
So my "conclusion" is that it seems like inline javascript commands are
ignored (functions not recognized etc.). All actions assigned to other
events work nice though.
Can someone confirm this strange behaviour? Or is it just normal with
the use of an XMLHttpRequest opbject?
