Cookies - Reading Them Back
Apr 2, 2007
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 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?

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>

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 looking to have a lightbox pop up when a user clicks the Back button in their browser rather than just navigating back. The purpose is to ask a question with a Yes/No answer, and if they click No, I allow them to go back. The only thing I've found anything like this is the onUnload event, but that doesn't prevent them from going back. How should this be handled?

I am trying to write a script that uses the IF statement to see wether or not a user clicked the back button to come to a page, and then if it's true to not let the page load and kick them back X number of pages (say 4) This is what I have so far:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if javascript:window.history.back == 1
{
javascript:window.history.back(4);
return false;
}

I have a webpage popup (lets call it POPUP) which refreshes the opener window (this one we call PARENT) when we close it, saying we want to save data. For this, we use
top.oWndOpener.refresh();
When we don't want to save the POPUP data, we just close the popup and
don't refresh the PARENT. In the PARENT we have a "Back" link which executes a simple
history.back()
The problem is:
If we refresh parent, we need to go back 2 pages, because the refresh
method adds another page to the history. But we have no (easy) way of
knowing in the PARENT if it had been refreshed. With this, our users
are forced to click two times in the Back link.
Is there anyway of going back to the previous page, no matter how many
refreshes happened in the current one ?

I have been trying to utilize a pre existing snippet of JS that makes a call to some PHP, where the PHP echo's out the answer, namely a dynamic quick search output, that gains its data from an xml file (which works as expected) and thought I might be able to rework the code to work for my altered purpose (which has been a disaster at every attempt) which is as follows:
1. I have a JS file called call4section.js - JS that has a string (str) value assigned (could be number or a combination of numbers and letters) which is passed to a PHP script called call4section.php.
2. The PHP script takes receipt of the string and finds a match within an XML file for the entry under <reference>.
3. The XML file has a format as follows:
<pages>
<note>
<section>value</section>
[code]....
And well, I dont seem to be able to get any further forward with it. Effectively, I can echo out the $reply (if it worked I think), but my stumbling block is sending the starting string, with the JS expecting some reply sent from the PHP.

I am wondering how Back, Forward browser button works for iframes. Does it bring back/forward iframe or top window? I remember I had before a problem because I wanted to bring back iframe and not top window as it did. But today I tested my Facebook app and was surprised to see it works as I need which means it brings back/forward iframe window and not top. Is it possible that Facebook has some javascript code which does that or is this normall behaviour?

I'm trying to find a simple step-by-step on how to read a simple XML file
like this one, which will work in IE 6 and Firefox 0.x.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CATALOG>
<CD>
<TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
<ARTIST>Christopher Santee</ARTIST>
<COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY>
<COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY>
<PRICE>10.90</PRICE>
<YEAR>1985</YEAR>
</CD>
<CATALOG>
The problem is every example, I find that it will work in IE but not Firefox
or visa versa, could someone please point me to a how to that will work with
both browsers. I just spent two weeks reading the Microsoft Press Book "XML
Step by Step", only to find out that the technology only works with IE.

Can someone give me some pointers on how I can read one or more
arguements from a url, using js?
Why? I'm working on a LAMP based project and when a user successfully
registers, the header redirects to the login screen - I'd like to check
for the value of register, if read from:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?register=success
A pointer/hint as opposed to a solution should be sufficient because I'm
doing pretty well learning javascript.

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?

I'm trying to write code that will read an XML file. I've found several examples but I can't get them to work. Am I missing a DLL file? The errors I commonly get are "object required" (as with the code below) or "permission denied". Any insight would be helpful and appreciated. Here is what I'm trying:
<script language="JavaScript">
function importXML(file)
{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) createTable()
};
xmlDoc.loadXML(file);
}
function createTable()
{
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Employee");
for (i=0;i<x[0].childNodes.length;i++)
{
alert(i); //enter code to process stuff here
}
}
</script>
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="import XML"
onClick="importXML('C: mpzip est1.xml')">

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>

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")

I'm trying to create a javascript barcode API, that reads from my USB barcode reader and calls an action upon completion. The reading itself is not complicated at all, since the barcode reader functions exactly as typing the same numbers on my keyboard. So scanning a barcode with; 5050500
would be the same as typing it on my keyboard, but of course much faster. The problem lies in my "API" which dosn't always respond to the barcode length correctly, hence executing the actions at the wrong time (see code below).
A scenario in my application would be to separate multiple barcodes with a semicolon, which is what I'm trying to do with the code below. Copy paste the following code, and run it in your browser: Code:
