Setting Cookies With HTML And IE8
Feb 13, 2011
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 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.

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) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}
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;
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>
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 = $_COOKIE["unique_id"];
} else //means cookie is not found set it using Javascript {
?>
[/code]
[code = html]
<script language="javascript">
<!-- writeCookie();
function writeCookie() {
var today = new Date();
var the_date = new Date("December 31, 2023");
var the_cookie_date = the_date.toGMTString();
var the_cookie = "users_resolution="+ screen.width +"x"+ screen.height;
var the_cookie = "unique_id="+ uniqid();
var the_cookie = the_cookie + ";expires=" + the_cookie_date;
document.cookie=the_cookie
}function uniqid(){
var newDate = new Date;
return newDate.getTime();
}
//-->
</script>
[/code]
[code = php]
<?php } ?>
// And in the ,body>
<?php
echo "Screen resolution: ".$screen_res."<br>";
echo "Unique ID: ".$unique_id."<br>";
?>

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;
}}

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 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) { }
</script>

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 am trying to write a script to switch style sheets when a user clicks a button. I got my script to work. I created buttons with in the script, put them in a div, and used appendChild to add the div to the page. This all works and the style sheets switch, however I want to add a cookie, so when the user returns to the page it displays with the style sheet they were using last. I can't figure out how to grab which style sheet the user selected, to add it to the cookie. I have included the code for the switching.
function addEvent(object, evName, fnName, cap)
{
if (object.attachEvent)

I am using $.post to send an HTTP Post Request to my web page and I receive the generated HTML code within the corresponding callback function. Unfortunately, the browser does not reload the web page automatically to see the changes of the request. For sure, I could use document.window.reloaed() to make them visible, but instead I simply wanna use the returned HTML code to change web page.
I have tried several javascript statements, such as window.childNodes[0].innerHTML = data or window.clear() but nothing works. Then, I saw the option of using $(document).html(data) but this is also not the approriate one.

I have some images I'd like to include.This first image is of one of two user input forms. Notice in the top left of the picture, the second tab is selected.The arrow is pointing to the little calendar icon. This icon, when clicked, will display a calendar date-picker tool right beside the icon.To achieve this, I'm using the following code:
calendar = document.getElementById("calendar_popup");
icon = document.getElementById(icon);
//alert(icon.offsetParent.tagName);[code]..........
This works wonderfully in THIS form, as shown below: However, when I go to the tab to the right (3rd from the right of all 3 tabs). I come to another form that's identical to the one shown above. When I click on the calendar icon though, the calendar popup is displayed in the incorrect area.In this case, the popup is covering the calendar button. This will occur all the time between the two. It doesn't matter if one icon is selected prior to the other one.The icons both have different ID to prevent cross-id issues.

I have some JavaScript which is splitting out the different variable elements from the URL.Now, how do I set the internal variables?Then I want to set the variable ScriptHeading to be Change and the variable ScriptType to be NewThread.I keep finding all sorts of lovely code showing how to split out the various sections in many different ways, but I can't find anything on how to actually set these variables.

For all those "Cookie Problems" posts that are flooding this Forum:
function cookie(name,value)
{ this.name = name;
this.value = value;
this.attributes = new Array();
this.expiresIn = function (days)
{ expiration = new Date();
expiration.setTime(expiration.getTime() + (days*86400000));
this.attributes["expires"] = expiration.toGMTString();
};
this.set = function ()

document.cookie=cookiestr;

this.set();

If I create a cookie in PHP here.
setcookie('cookie_cl_'.$client_id, 'cookie_cl_'.$client_id, $time, "/","", 0);
the php script is set on domain B
the javascript I want to read the cookie is set on domain B as well
However, the
hosted on DOMAIN A <script src=domain B .js>
I want the cookie to remain on domain B, but if I open the JS file using domain A, both php and JS are using domain B, though I can't seem to get the JS to find the cookie, is it looking at domain A ?
am I suppose to set a domain on cookie for this to work?

What's the trick to sharing cookies between frames? I can set and read a
cookie in the same frame, but if I try to read the cookie in another frame
it is undefined. :o(
There are some other cookies that are available in all frames, so I know
that the frames are capable of reading cookies, just not the ones that I set
in the other frame.

I have the code below that will retrieve a cookie that was placed by the server (ie: joes.com) that the document resides on. I want to be able to retrieve a cookie set by another server (ie: freds.com) but I want to retrieve it from a page served by joes.com. This code apparently using 'document.cookie' determines the server that the document resides on and looks for cookies from that server. Anybody know of code that will let you determine the server?
var name = "cookie";
function getCookie(name) {
var cname = name + "=";
var dc = document.cookie;
if (dc.length > 0) {
begin = dc.indexOf(cname);
if (begin != -1) {
begin += cname.length;
end = dc.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1) end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin,
end));
}
}
return null;

I am using IE6 to view pages from a corporate web server through
internet, not VPN. But, the I use a webhop service, so the URL I use is
silently redirected to another place. I think this is because the
company uses dynamic IP addresses for the server.
Anyway, I am trying to use a cookie to remember user login info, but
the cookie is not working. If connect to the server through the VPN
(when I know the IP address of the server) everything works fine. So, I
am thinking that the webhop thing is causing me a problem with cookie.
Reading about the cookie I think that either the path or the domain
needs setting. Am I on the right lines here, or is it something else?
