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 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'm currently at http://www.domain.com/the-path.jsp, and I would like
to be able, with JavaScript--and possibly the click of a button, which
I will most likely attach to IE's toolbar--transport to
http://domain.dev.domain.com/the-path.jsp.
Here's the environment: My browser is set to the page http://www.domain.com/the-path.jsp
and I plan to add a button to IE's toolbar via the registry that I
would like to execute the JavaScript, which contain the code to
perform the aforementioned procedure.
My JavaScript knowledge is, as I'm sure you've already surmised,
limited.
Here's what I know (or what I think I know)
The .js file header:
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
the object: window.location.replace [or href].
I have a feeling a "and if" statement is needed here. Am I correct?
BTW: As far as the registry button addition is concerned, I'm set on
how to do that.
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 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 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'm writing this post as there are alot of questions about Cross Domain AJAX request so i'm going to give an overview of the different ways and the best practices Ok so there are 2 systems for this the key difference is how much control you have.
If you control the Requested site you can use Javascript Safe calling to that server, this is all done via a few Headers so to do this all you have to do is send some headers from the page your requesting.
The first is tell the browser that the site the AJAX call is coming from is allowed this is done with
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin: " Now this can be set to a wild card and allow all sites to access the page
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"
Or you can say only a set server can
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin: mydomain.com"
This header allows GET requests but what if you need to post data to the site well you need to tell the browser that POST data is allowed to be sent Access-Control-Allow-Headers: GET,POST
Now we run into the problem that sending post data the browser will send the header Content-Type but your server has not told the browser its allowed to send that header so Access-Control-Allow-Methods: Content-Type Will allow the header to be sent if you wish to send any other custom headers you have to make your server tell the browser its allowed to send them this is done by adding them as a comma delimited list via the "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" header
Now if you dont have control well then your back to using a script that is local to the AJAX script then sending the data via cURL or another connection method to the remote server

since a few days i try to load external html content from another domain. obviosly it is hard to access cross domain content wit
javascript ajax methodes. first i' ve tried iframes but access denied. after that I' ve tried $.ajax but all request returned zero byte data from server. here is a way that seems to work but raise an error while processing data from text to json object
$.getJSON("http://example.com?jsoncallback=?",null,
function(data){
alert(data);
});
i can see the server response in firebug and it requests the html data. but as i sayd i raise an error while converting to json. any chance to get raw data before jquery konversion? or maybe any other way (s) to request html data in text format from cross domain?
I'm trying to read a cookie that I've set with php with javascript. The cookie is for storing the username when logging in to a site. If the cookie has been set I want the focus in the inline popup to target the password field so that the user doesn't have to tab down from the username field of the login form.
The php script stores the cookie perfectly:
if (isset($_POST['remember'])){
$expire = time()+60*60*24*30;
setcookie("login_username", $username, $expire);
echo $_COOKIE['login_username'];
} else {
if (isset($_COOKIE['login_username']) || isset($_COOKIE['password'])){
$expire = time()-3600;
setcookie("login_username", "", $expire);
}}
The javascript:
if (targetfocus == 'login_username'){
alert(readCookie('login_username'));
if (readCookie('login_username') == 'username'){
targetfocus = 'password';
}}
$("#"+targetfocus).focus();
...
function readCookie(name) {
var cookieName = name + "=";
var cookieArray = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookieArray.length; i++){
var cookie = cookieArray[i];
while (cookie.charAt(0)==' '){
cookie = cookie.substring(1,cookie.length);
}if (cookie.indexOf(cookieName) == 0){
return cookie.substring(cookieName.length,cookie.length);
}return null;
}}
But when trying to read the cookie in the javascript code I receive null when I put an alert to the code. Why won't the javascript find the cookie? Is it because I'm running the site localhost on my laptop? Does that have an effect on cookies?
I have a script that i need to read the ip from a visitor and set a cookie, so the script will never be executed again for that particular ip address.
Right now i'm having problems with the current cookie set of my script, i can't seem to make it not appear again after it's executed (which is my goal). That's why i want to try using an IP cookie, and see if that works.
i have a table of images, with onmouseover,onmouseout and click events. The user can select and deselect an image. When an image is selected, the image scr changes.
Then the user can confirm his selections and redirect to another page for the checkout process. When he returns to the first and initial page, i want his selections to have a different image (lets say confirmed.gif).In other words to save his selections in a cookie and return them by changing the images so that they wont be available for selection.
In order to find which images are selected and store them in an array i can use the following loop:
function getSelected(){
var myArray = [];
var images = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (i=0;i<images.length;i++){
[Code]....
How i can save that array with the images tittles in a cookie, so that when the initial page loads i can find which images to change and then change the image.src to confirmed.gif ?
I can't find any javascript that reads and writes cookies with keys,
so that it is compatible with ASP (I want to read and write cookies
from both javascript and ASP)
for example in ASP:
<%
Response.Cookies("user")("firstname")="John"
Response.Cookies("user")("lastname")="Smith"
Response.Cookies("user")("country")="Norway"
Response.Cookies("user")("age")="25"
%>
I'm looking for javascript code that can read that information.
My requirement: Each time a visitor arrives at a specific webpage i want the main image on the page to be different, or more specifically, one of 6 images which will be shown in rotation. Solution: Set a cookie. Each time the visitor access the page read the cookie and display the corresponding image. Then increment the value and rewrite the cookie, so that next time they'll see the next image in sequence. NB: if the cookie does not exist (first timer) or is at 6, then the value is set to zero (and then incremented).
Problem: Can't get my coding to work. Specifically it just doesn't do anything - no error message, no cookie written. I'm a very novice scripter, as in I've cobbled the coding together from bits off the net that i think i've managed to grasp some kind of an understanding of. Very suck it and see - so far lots of sucking and no seeing!

I am doing some development using jQuery $.getJson lately and found the following weird scenario.
1. open google chrome without any argument then load a local html file.
2. the local html file will need to have $.getJson[url] .... bla bla bla and jQuery.support.cors = true.
3. data will get loaded
But if you try to load the exact same json data from other domain or localhost, it wouldn't works.
I need to send data through POST to other domain.
My script is:
But I am still getting the error XMLHttpRequest cannot load [url]. Origin [url] is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
XHR finished loading
I set in the destination
I don't know why it dosen't work.
Is it possible to capture the domain change event OR domain of the target site in javascript? To elaborate, suppose I am on my site (www.mydomain.com) and if I type www.someotherdomain.com in the address bar, I want to capture the target URL/domain i.e. someotherdomain.com in the javascript code of my site (mydomain.com). I am trying to call sign-off function of my site upon customer navigation to some other site without loggin off. I can not use body/window onUnload function because I have a common layout JSP that would be reloaded for each and every page. So I am trying to capture the URL/domain of target site and check if it is different from teh current domain; Then only I will call my sign-off function to kill the customer session.

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".

i need to post data from a form to a page on another domain, without leaving the current page.I am using ASP as a server language.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
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.
I am trying to set a cookie in my cookie directory but this is not working.

Is there a javascript variable that contains the path of the file from which
it ran?
Something like this....?

Is this possible?
Can I subtract the filename form the location.pathname ex:
Before = 'file:///c:/afolder/awebsite.html'
After = 'file:///c:/afolder/'
Or is there any other way to get the directory without the name of the file being veiwed?
