View 2 RepliesI use Javascript cookies in a web application with a command like this
document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + escape(value) +
((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + ExpireDate.toGMTString());
But it does not work in some cases that I dont understand ...
I have been redesigning my Site. To offer the user to change the background color. this is passed from page to page with the use of cookies. In my redesign I also need to images and bg images to be passed from page to page but don't quite know how to go about it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedData 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.-
is there a way to create iframes using cookies and javascript? What i need to do is to have a way to create a cookie on page one, and use the info on page two to create the iframe.Users will see a list of "external links", once they click on a link, they will be redirected to a page that will generate a iframe of the chosen link.My guess is that if there is a way, it must need to use cookies to store the info (url) to get used by the script that will create the iframe on the page that will be used to show all iframes.

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using a standard javascript that I downloaded from
javascriptsource.com to read from and fill in a form using cookies.
The page tests well in every browser except Apple's Safari (from
10.3.2)
Unfortunately, my clients daughter uses Safari so I have to get it to
work with it, even though most of his clients use IE.
What do I need to do to change the code so this will all work in
Safari? Code:
For all those "Cookie Problems" posts that are flooding this Forum:

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?
i am about to write my first javascript for a Login "remember me
cookie"...but i will say i am not sure of what method?
i dont want to save user id and password.....
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.
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.
Got a client with three web sites. I want to be able to pass cookies between these sites, so far no luck. Tried:
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((exp == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + exp.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
("; domain=.yorktest.com") +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
Code:
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?
Some know how can i pull out a none English string from a cookie?

handling and block all third party cookies. Now I'm curious. How are
third party cookies allowed in the first place? I thought only the

And i trying to find a way to show a div with text and images just once per day using cookies....i like something like this [URL]
I'm displaying a page outside my server inside an iframe. I want to allow whatever is inside my iframe to set cookies. The website says, sorry your browser must allow cookies. My browser allows cookies, but because its in the iframe it doesn't allow them. I've read something about changing the header? What code would I put in my page.php to allow them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying for the last few weeks(on and off, mind you) to get this piece of code working, but to no avail.
My problem is small, but all the solutions I have tried dont seem to work.
I've googled the life out of it and got a lot of different scripts which are supposed to set the expiry date in the past and the cookie disappears.....
But none of these worked, so this is what I am left with: Code:
First and foremost, yet I have viewed w3schools explination on how to use cookies, yes I have googled around for other tutorials, and I am still not getting the cookie to set at all.
I have a quiz I set up with javascript, and when the user passes the quiz, it goes to a special webpage. I want a cookie set on with body onload for that page, and then that cookie to be checked on the body onload of the quiz page so that if the page see''s that the user has allready passed that quiz, it will just automatically redirect acordingly so the quiz won't have to be taken again. Here is my [code]...
I have a window up whose Javascript implementation checks for a cookie with code something like this:
function lookieCookie()
{
alert(document.cookie);
setTimeout(lookieCookie, 10000);
}
The first call to lookieCookie is in the onload event handler. The cookie is actually set by a PHP routine that is in another script. The PHP script certainly appears to be setting the cookie. The alerts from lookieCookie are clearely happening at the appropriate time intervals (I can't get into the room with the actual code at the moment, so if I have messed up the syntax here, I know that it is not messed up in the real code), but the cookie being set from PHP does not show up.
Obviously the PHP might be doing the wrong thing. In tha case I have to get on the guy that writes the PHP script. Should the code I wrote work even if the cookie is set after the page has loaded, but between iterations of lookieCookie()? If yes, then I must get on the PHP coder and get his page fixed.
I'm trying to write a Javascript program that adds numbers by using cookies. Here is my code:

I have a friend that needs help. They emailed me and said they notice that when there site is in a frame from another site, the cookies do not work. The email prompt pops up even if the person has already set a cookie. If you input an email address it still comes back with null. Do you know why it cannot read the email cookie from within another site, but works fine from his site.
Anyone know what to chnage in this script to fix this?
I really like this script http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/navigate2.htm
however, I can't seem to find a script that uses cookies for a long period of time, instead of just for browser sessions.
Is there any way someone could help me on this and make the script use longer cookies for so many days.
