I set the cookie with out the path. Is it OK to leave the path if you want the path to be "/"?
Code:
I see i firefox if I don't set the path , for path I get "/" ..Seems like default is "/" . Not sure if all browswe will set it to "/" by default?
I have a script that sets a number of cookies based on a set of results returned from an external website.
The file sits in the cgi-bin folder (it has to, as this is where the data is processed and results returned) and when the data is returned it is stored in a number of cookies before redirecting to a results page in the website root to display the data.
The problem, before I display any code, is that one of the cookies is setting its path to the /cgi-bin folder, meaning when the page redirects back to the website this particular cookie is not accessible.
However, what is even more unusual is that this only happens in Safari.
Here is the code:
The specific cookie that is being set to the wrong path is the 'ckResults' cookie.
I have an embedded system with a web interface. One of the web pages
has a small JavaScript program that, when run on IE6, always displays
the message that cookies need to be enabled:
if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1)
{
document.cookie = 'asm_session=0'
if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1)
{
document.write("Advanced System Management access requires
cookies to be enabled."+'<br><br>');
}
}
This problem only occurs with IE6, not Mozilla. It also only happens
on some of the embedded systems, but this problem exists for everyone
running IE6.
The problem isn't limited to the Javascript code, either. On another
web page from this embedded system, a cookie is set the normal way,
via the HTTP header. This cookie is also rejected.
When I display any page that attempts to set a cookie, IE6 displays
the blocked icon and says that cookies on that URL are blocked.
However, I have set all privacy and cookie options to their most
permissive. I've spent the past hour changing every option I can find
that's even remotely related to cookies and privacy, and nothing
changes. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I can't figure out why I am not able to read the cookies sitewide, maybe it is the way I am setting the cookie but the cookie looks to be set correctly in the Firefox browser.
On the page that I set the cookie, it works. I can read the cookies I set on the same page as well.
If I move to another page to view the cookies it gives an undefined value when using the getCookie function.
IF the problem lies in the getCookie function, please explain the code a little to me so I can get an understanding what I missed.
Code:
I don't normally use Javascript apart from a few browser workarounds, but I have a requirement to set a country cookie and it was working when all my pages were in the same directory, but now that I've added subdirectories, it sets a new cookie for each directory instead of one sitewide.
Here's the code (which I edited from some found on the internet):
Then on the homepage links I use:
Then on the subdirectory pages, I have a reset button which allows you to return to the homepage and disable the redirect.
So I just need the path=/ to be added somewhere is that right? I tried changing the last line of the main code to:
I have three paths as follows within the same domain.
[url]
[url]
[url]
When I am on site [url], how do I read the cookie on [url] and [url] paths ?
Here is my function to read the cookie but this takes only one parameter cookie name.
Is it possible to access cookies set on a different path (but same domain) with js? So say the web page with js being accessed is a file in the root html directory, and for that domain a cookie is already set in the browser with a path say, '/abc/'. Is it possible to access that cookie from the just described js?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi am working on a script that triggers a blind down or blind up effect

How I can set a cookie name with the next function:
Explanation: if cookie called: "lostpasswd" is present on the web browser of user it can't be access to the page in the next 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the cookie will be destroyer.

how to set cookie with some info about that --> is this user voted in pool or not... maybe someone can write a simple script for that if it's not too hard.. it would be very nice.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to set/create a single-use/temporary "cookie" for the duration of the user's session or possibly for up to 2 days and have a popup alert box, telling them that their screen resolution is too low to view.

I had a div boxs set on the page left, when user onclick the div that will set the display element to none..("display:none")
However, when the user change to other page, the display setting will return to before. How to use cookie to store the display setting?
I have searched and searched the internet but cannot find information on exactly what I am trying to do.What I am trying to do is set a cookie that will remember if the display status is "none". This is probably something simple but I don't know much about javascript obviously. I've tried a few different approaches but I can never get the script to actually set a cookie.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI simply want to learn how to create a cookie that is assigned the user’s favorite color. And change the background color of the document to that color. So far I think I may be storing it in the cookie correctly, and I have a function that sets the background color, but I don’t think I am recalling it properly when I reopen the web page. Code:
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a working version of a pop up that loads 10 seconds after I open a page. I also have a working version that sets a cookie for when the pop up is closed. However, I need to get a little more functionality with this.
Here is what I have now, the code that makes pop up come up 10 seconds after
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
jQuery.lightbox("http://mydomain.com/scripts/popup.html?lightbox[width]=650&lightbox[height]=480");
[Code].....
1.) My first task it to combine the two. I still need the popup that comes up after 10 seconds, but I also need the jquery to check if a cookie is set. (I load the jquery cookie plugin for this code)
2.) If there is no cookie and the pop up comes up there are three ways of closing the pop up.
- x button on the top right corner: if this is clicked, a 24 hour cookie should be set
- remind me later link: if this link is clicked, the same 24 hour cookie should be set
- dont show again: if this one is clicked, a longer cookie is set
I'm more of an actionscript person but got roped into an html/javascript job.What I need to do, and it shouldn't be that difficult is this:page1.html - there is a yellow button and a red button - if the user clicks on the yellow button I want to set a cookie with the value "yel" then load the next page - if they click the red button set that cookie with the value "red"page2.html - 'onload' i want to read that cookie and load up the main image to match, something like this maybe?... document.mainimage.src='img/main_' + variable + '.png'so that the path would be for example 'img/main_red.png'f you think this would be easier sending that variable in the URL instead of as a cookie please explain. I'm having a very hard time searching for tutorials that are any good and that do exactly this kind of thing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere's the code I've come up with. I deliberately left off an expiration date since I want the cookie to expire when the browser is closed.

I've got the following code snippet in a function to set a coockie based on whether or not the user selects a checkbox. Using an alert the cookie text looks fine but when I go to retrieve the values the only one it can find is the value for user. I've a few different things and none of them seem to work. I'm getting the same thing in both IE and Firefox. The only cookie listed is the 'user' with the proper expiration date. Code:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set a cookie when a user clicks a hyper link.
Do you think I should prevent the default behavior of pressing a link first, and then set the cookie?
Or could I just set the cookie on a hyper link click event, and hope the client sets the cookie, before they are directed to another page.
I'm having a slight problem with php pagination and jquery/js. On the following page [URL] you'll see an "athlete profile" area. Whenever an athlete photo is selected, javascript/php are used to switch out the athlete info. This works perfectly fine. The problem occurs if I use the left or right arrows to view more athletes (the left and right arrows are set with php pagination to switch to the next four records in the database). Whenever I do this, the athlete info defaults back to the first person from the initial load. Also, the javascript/jquery quits working and won't let me view the info for one of the newly displayed athletes. So I have two questions:
1) why it defaults back to the original athlete info? I'm assuming it has something to do with me not setting a cookie to remember the currently selected athlete.
2) Why does the javascript quit working when I view the next set of athletes?
Also, the jquery slideshow that I am implementing is an alteration of this: [URL]
I'm using a script to include images into a slide show using direct URLs to the image files, but I am using fckeditor (PHP) for my users to edit their content. The script in the .js file that pulls the images into the slide show.The user's image file is going to be named something like, "userImage01.php". Inside that file would be their image location path ~ "images/user/image1.jpg".Therefore, I need the above javascript to pull-in "userImage01.php" INSTEAD OF the image's location path.

I am making a sort of text based game (Just a hobby) I like to do that sort of thing. So, anyway, considering all I can really do is code HTML, and very, very light javascript, I kinda need some help.
I basicly know how to do everything except affect & Use the cookies. So what I need to do with them is to
#1.) Have a code to change the cookie number, say... on the click of a button.
#2.) Have a code where it only displays certain text if the cookie is a certain number.
I cant code JS and have no idea how hard/easy this is.
If it is insanely hard & needs a master coder, just tell me and ill take it off. I dont want to be wasting anyones time.
In my web application we are able to store large data in the browser
cookie keeping in mind the limit of 300 cookies per cookie file, 20
keys per cookie per domain and 4KB max size of each cookie. We are
unable to retreive this large amount of data immediately after storing
through document.cookie in IE browser (The same works fine in
Netscape).
Is there any limit on the size of the data that can be retreived using
document.cookie in IE browser? Could you please suggest a solution to
this problem I am facing.
