Reading Txt File And Setting Cookies Based On The Words?
Jan 19, 2010
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 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]

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.

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>

I just can't get this to work for some reason.. Here is the page setup:
I have 3 <span> tags:
Code:
<span id="carttotal"></span>
<span id="shipping"></span>
<span id="ordertotal"></span>
When A user clicks a radio button for their shipping method:
Code:
<input id='priority' onclick="updatetotal('priority')" type="radio" name="shipping" value="priority" />
I have a script that should insert the shipping total in to the <span>, which it does, but what I can not get it to do is to take that value, add it to the value in the 'carttotal' <span> and output this to the 'ordertotal' <span>.
Here is my script:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function updatetotal(id)
{
[Code]....
The text in the 'ordertotal' <span> gets set to $NaN, and I have tried many other combinations and tricks, but I always get $NaN or undefined..

I need to set two cookies. One to be used for redirection and page loading,
which i have now and works and a second one that is used to write
information on a page.
Both are to be set automatically when loading the page. The second will
will set a company name like "Your company name". Then when the next page
is loaded it will put "Your company name" on the webpage. And like I said
before the first cookie is set for navigation purposes.

My text and what I have been researching on the internet has not been very helpful in determining the code that I need to prevent a user from entering his/her information more than once. Here is my current code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD.HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/htm14/loose.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
[code]....
I have created a new web page to link the duplicate cookie too, titled doubleinfo.html. This is what I am using to let the user know that their information has already been entered.
My text is telling me that I need to look for a nextform() function, but I didn't have to write one so what would I need to do, if anything, to start the document.cookie = "name" codes?

As far as I can tell, and it makes sense, when I set cookies for a page, say like this:
HTML Code:
<script>
function setCookie(cookie_name,value){
var cookie_value=escape(value);
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + cookie_value;
}
</script>
It works just fine, but it only sets the cookies for that particular page. Unfortunately I need it to remember that for all pages. In essence, this code belongs to a sign in page, but I need it to remember the username and password on all pages. I would like to avoid sending variables from page to page containing usernames and passwords if it's at all possible.

For complex reasons, I have to use HTML with JavaScript to set a cookie. I know it is easy to set and get cookies PHP but I have to put the code in HTML. I ran this Javascript code:
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function putCookie(){
cookie_name = "specialcookiehuge";
if(document.cookie != document.cookie){
index = document.cookie.indexOf(cookie_name);
}else{
index = -1;
}if (index == -1){
document.cookie=cookie_name+"; expires=Monday, 04-Apr-2020 05:00:00 GMT";
}}
</SCRIPT>
I tested this code by placing alert statements and I know that the line:
Code:
document.cookie=cookie_name+"; expires=Monday, 04-Apr-2020 05:00:00 GMT";
gets run. I tried to find this cookie (Tools -> Internet Options -> Browsing History ->Settings) And I did not find anything named "specialcookiehuge" in "View Objects" or "View Files".

I am setting a cookie on a subdomain:
http://store1.mydomain.com
Then the store takes me to a shopping cart that is at:
http://shopping.mydomain.com
Somewhere the following code (taken and modified from The JavaScript Source)
is broken between domains, because when I click my "store" link that should
read the cookie and send me to store1.mydomain.com or storeN.mydomain.com I
get the default template store.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original: Ronnie T. Moore -->
<!-- Web Site: The JavaScript Source -->
<!-- Begin
var expDays = 30;
var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime(exp.getTime() + (expDays*24*60*60*1000));
function getCookieVal (offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}
function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}
function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +

((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +

}
function DeleteCookie (name) {
var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime (exp.getTime() - 1);
var cval = GetCookie (name);
document.cookie = name + "=" + cval + "; expires=" + exp.toGMTString();
}
var favorite = GetCookie('store');
if (favorite != null) {
switch (favorite) {
case 'store1' : url = 'http://store1.mydomain.com/'
break;
case 'store2' : url = 'http://store2.mydomain.com/'
break;
case 'store3' : url ='http://store3.mydomain.com/'
break;
case 'storeN' : url = 'http://storeN.mydomain.com/'
break;
}
window.location.href = url;

The cookie is set by a javascript "onload command" Like I said I have it
working on a server with no sub domain.

I am trying to set my cookies with the click of a button and display them with another button and have them expire one day after visit. I have been having some trouble with this and have written and rewritten code many times. How can I get this code to work? (not very familiar with setting cookies).
Below is the cookie script I am working on which I am having trouble with:
<script>
var equipment = document.forms[0].equipment.value;
var pDate = document.forms[0].pickupDate.value;
var pHour = document.forms[0].pickupHours.value;
var pMin = document.forms[0].pickupMinutes.value;
var rDate = document.forms[0].returnDate.value;
var rHour = document.forms[0].returnHours.value;
var rMin = document.forms[0].returnMinutes.value;
var first = document.forms[0].firstName.value;
var last = document.forms[0].lastName.value;
var street = document.forms[0].street.value;
var city = document.forms[0].city.value;
var zip = document.forms[0].zip.value;
var dob = document.forms[0].date.value; .....
This is the input field in the body part of the form:
<input type = "button" value = 'Set Cookies' onclick = "setCookie('anyName','Hello',expDate)">

The following code works fine in IE8 and Firefox 3.5. Any idea why it does not work in Chrome ? Tried it both in localhost and on my web server -- no success.
In the header:
[code = php]
<?php
if((isset($_COOKIE["unique_id"]))&&isset($_COOKIE["users_resolution"])){
$screen_res = $_COOKIE["users_resolution"];
$unique_id = $_COOKIE["unique_id"];
} else //means cookie is not found set it using Javascript {
?>
[/code]
[code = html]
<script language="javascript">
<!-- writeCookie();
function writeCookie() {
var today = new Date();
var the_date = new Date("December 31, 2023");
var the_cookie_date = the_date.toGMTString();
var the_cookie = "users_resolution="+ screen.width +"x"+ screen.height;
var the_cookie = "unique_id="+ uniqid();
var the_cookie = the_cookie + ";expires=" + the_cookie_date;
document.cookie=the_cookie

I have setting some cookies to track visitors to my site. I have my pages in folder music and in sub folders. I can access my site by typing: [url] So the domain will be: [url] and the path: /sara/music/
But the broblem is that other cookies are attached to my cookieby going to [url] or any link in it.
Is the problem from setting the path? If not how can I filter my cookie so i can just display my cookies only, I use one function to display all the cookies.

I'm setting up a fictitious shopping page which uses cookies to remember what a user has selected. The products are photographs that the user can select either framed or unframed versions and I'm trying to put a confirmation box if the user actually requests framed and unframed versions of the same photograph. The code I'm using actually worked before I tried to add this extra functionality but I can't work out how to test for this extra bit. Here's my code and it sets cookies with names as either lulworth01 for the unframed version or lulworth01f for the framed version. The bits that work are in black and my extra code for this test is in red.
function getCookie(name){
var index = cart.indexOf(name + "=");
if(index == -1)
return null;
index = cart.indexOf("=", index) +1;
var endstr = cart.indexOf(";",index);
if (endstr == -1) endstr = cart.length;
return unescape(cart.substring(index, endstr));
} function setCookie(name) {
if ((name.charAt(name.length-1)='f') && (getCookie(name.substring(0,10))!=null)) {
confirm("You seem to have placed orders for both a mounted and framed image of the same photograph.
Is that OK?");
} else {
alert("Thank you.
Your basket has been updated.");
x=parseInt(getCookie(name)) || 0;
y=x+1;
var today = new Date();
var expiry = new Date(today.getTime()+28*24*60*60*1000); // plus 28 days
document.cookie=name+"="+y+";expires="+expiry.toGMTString();
cart = document.cookie;
}}

I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..

I'm trying to serve static content from a cookieless subdomain s.mydomain.org.uk, so that image/css requests from pages at [URL] don't get sent with needless cookie data. The trouble is that Google Analytics insists on adding its cookies (_utma, _utmz) to those requests anyway!
My code is:
<script src="[URL]" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("xxxx");
pageTracker._setDomainName("www.mydomain.org.uk");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch (err) { }

I have a page which takes information from a user. When the user clicks the "send" button, it stores data in a cookie then does a javascript redirect to the next page which grabs the info. I don't want the data to be present in the URL on the next page and the site is supposed to be put together without the use of PHP (the 2nd page is a confirm page that sends the data to Web Services).
This has been working great for everyone who has tried it, but there are a handful of complaints that users will not get the information they expected on the 2nd page. My question is, as I'm trying to debug this stuff, is it reasonable to think that the cookie may not be properly stored in time for the redirect to take place for some users?

I'd like to be able to check the cookies of visiters for certain values and block access to my site based on that. Lets say the cookie is called "somesite_username" from another site. I'd like some code to say 'Hey, does this visitor have a cookie named "somesite_username" set? if so.. is the value set at this, this, or this? If so - deny access to the site and log their IP address here'. (so I can add it to IP Deny later)
Is that very difficult?

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 am using a toggle() function with <div ID="View_Right_SiteNews" STYLE="display:none"> to display/hide data. I would like to be able to have the display/hide value remembered by the end-user on a session-base duration. Here is the existing javascript that I am using: Code:
function toggle( targetId ){
if (document.getElementById){
target = document.getElementById( targetId );
if (target.style.display == "none"){
target.style.display = "";
} else {
target.style.display = "none";
} } }
I than do something like:Code:
<A HREF="javascript:toggle('view_foo');">display</A>
If anybody can get this to work with a session-based cookie that would rock!
I would also go for setting a PHP session if session-based cookies won't work out. I just don't know how to do that either.
