Saving A Form Value To A Cookie

Apr 16, 2001

I want to save the form value for a persons USERNAME in a cookie when they are logging into my free e-mail service. So when they come back I can lookup the cookie and write the value for their username back into that spot in the form.

I've got it working for the drop-down menu so that it will change to whatever domain they selected the last time they logged in but I can't get it to work for the username box.

Saving Cookie Changes

Jun 12, 2006

I have a problem with cookies set via javascript. What I try to
achieve is, when a user comes on the intranet, he can click on a link (
a simple href) that will set the content to french or english. I want
to set a cookie to persist that choice each time the user comes back on
the intranet. This feature must be available everywhere on the
intranet and the link is placed in an inner asp script called Menu.asp
which is included each time a page loads.

Now, I know it's maybe not the best way to achieve this but I'm just
working from what has been made by others, I cannot change the way
things are made, too much work would be involved and they won't accept
to give time to do everything all over again.

The best approach I got was to set a querystring value and replace the
cookie value from vbscript code. The problem is, the intranet we have
use a lot of the querystrings for a lot of features and when I click
the English/French link, that info is lost. I've tried to set a
mechanism to keep all the querystring and only add a new value but I
got weird results...

So I've turned to Javascript and still got no luck... For some
reasons, the cookie gets deleted from the cookie file as soon as my
javascript modifies the cookie.

Here's an example:

Saving BgColor To A Cookie?

Sep 22, 2010

I'm working on my last JavaScript project for school and have encountered a few problems. The two issues that I'm having with this script are: - The cookies only work in Internet Explorer; - I can't figure out the code to save the 3rd text input field as a cookie that will automatically change the background color to the user's fav color.

Code:

<html>

Saving User Preferences In A Cookie?

Sep 19, 2010

I'm having a few problems with this script:

- the third text input in the form is requesting for the user's favorite color. I need it to validate the data to either be a defined color or a hexadecimal value and then turn the background into that color upon submission. However, it's not validating correctly... When a correct value is entered it works fine, it's the error message for an invalid entry that's not appearing.

- I need to save all of the user's input into a cookie which will automatically load their preferences the next time they visit the site(time of day message, first & last name and bg color).

Here's what I have so far:

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">

Saving A Form To A File?

Nov 17, 2011

I've been working on my code for some time but I know I'm missing the ability to save the completed time card entry to a file. Can someone assist me with the scripting code for this.I would like the user to be able to specify the location. I have search the forum and I have not found any question like this which surprises me. Please forgive me if I have posted in the wrong area.Currently I have no Java Script code to show for this part of my project because I'm completely stuck. But I have my unfinished XML code that is not pretty because I plan on using a style sheet to enhance. But here is the code for you to get and Idea of what i'm attempting.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html

Chaning URL / Saving Passw W Form

Nov 13, 2007

I need solution to change the url but not the page.

I need something like whan going to a site, the url changes to
whatever, but there is no page count, so I just get the new (right)
address, but when going back I go back to the page I came from.
Secondly I dont want a back-trap.

Why?

Say someone opens www.mysite.com, end is gives index.php to the clinet
- which enters a password and the browser offers to save that -
later, when logged out, the client is sent to www.mysite.com/index.php,
and the browser offers to save that password too... for another url,
but still the same page...

Saving Values From Google Map Into Form

For some reason if I set the ID value into the table tag the values work, but if i add the id to the input tags the values wont show in the form.

Rapidly Saving Text Form

Nov 2, 2010

I need to make a generic text field with the bizarre requirements that:

a) the text typed is automatically (or rapidly, on short, fixed intervals) stored on the server

b) the text typed in either disappears or is hidden from view (as in password dots) from the user.

I have a good amount of experience with HTML and Java, but done with this level of complexity. I can't get my head around it. The password dots I know will be easy, but rapidly storing the information in the text field boggles me.

JQuery :: Saving The State Of An Ajax Form?

Aug 17, 2009

I have a page with a simple form: 3 hidden fields and 3 selects. I load the data for the first select via Ajax on domready. I have "change" event handlers for all 3 fields. If I select something in the first select, the corresponding data gets loaded into the second select via Ajax etc. So it's a "cascade" of selects. When an option in the 3rd select is being selected, I save the values of all 3 selected options in the hidden fields, and create a button for submitting the form. Until here everything works fine. When a users hits the submit button, he is being forwarded to a results page. Now, when the user hits the back button, and the page with the form gets loaded again, I check if the first hidden field has a value. If so, I try to fill all the form fields with the values the user had entered (i.e. the selections he made), which means I make 3 Ajax calls (to have all the data available), and mark the options the user had selected as selected. That works fine in FF 3 and 3.5, Safari 4, as well as IE 7 right now. IE 6 only display the data of the first select (as if the other two Ajax calls aren't successful or something - no errors though), while Opera 9 doesn't seem to remember the values of the 3 hidden fields (same issue with IE 8, but I'm using IE Tester, which is not always reliable). The html and jquery code (leaving out all the details) look like this:

<form id="myform" action="action.php" method="get">
<input name="manu_saved" id="manu_saved" type="hidden" />
<input name="series_saved" id="series_saved" type="hidden" />
<input name="type_saved" id="type_saved" type="hidden" />

Submit Form, Validate Form, Set Cookie, Send Email, Download File

Jul 23, 2005

I have a form built and on the onclick event I validate all of the
fields and then if the form is ok, on the submit event I run a
javascript function to set a cookie and download a file from the
current window.

I have a cgi script provided by my web host to send the contents of the
form through email but they only show me how to use the cgi script to
send email through the submit event of the form.

ie. <form name="downloadform" method="post"
action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/mailtemp.txt" onSubmit="return
Validate(this)">

Can I utilize the cgi script/link from my javascript function and still
send the contents of the form through the cgi email??

Cookie In A Form

Apr 10, 2007

Basically I have a form where the user enters their info (name, last name, email) then clicks the add button to store their info into an array that I made. Then, the user can enter say... "Bill" in the first name field, click the search button, and in the text box, all results with bill will show up.

What I need to do is instead of the information being stored in the array when the user clicks add, is to store it as a cookie with a comma separated string like this: "lastname,firstname,emailid"

Then when the users clicks the search button, the info is retrieved from a cookie, not the array.

Save Form In Cookie

Jul 23, 2005

I have this in a FORM tag:
OnSubmit="return SendForm(this);

to save the content of the form in a cookie. But I need to save it a on windows print,
where I reload the form with a css for print. Therefore the form must be filled in again from the cookie. But how do I save the form without submitting ?

I retrieve the saved data with:
onLoad="OldForm(document.forms(0));

Store Form Info In Cookie?

Oct 18, 2010

I have a Cisco ASA that I use as a proxy server as such. I have a internal site that it will not pass credentials to so I was looking for a way to do that. Not being a site developer the only way I can come up with is to maybe pass it by using a cookie to store the password and ID. Below is the code I am trying to use. I can create the cookie with the code below but it will not change the PATH or the Domain for some reason. Also I do not think it is reading from the cookie not sure why. Basically I need it to set the cookie with the user info and then grab the info from the cookie to auto log the user in to the internal site.

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
function writeCookie( )
{
var username = document.form.username.value; // Get the user's name

SaveRestore Form/cookie Netscape

Nov 17, 2005

I have been working on this script to save and then restore form values from a cookie. It works fine in both IE and Firefox, but does not work in Netscape. I get an error that says "error: testform is not defined". And, although Firefox saves and restores the values fine, I do get a warning "Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.". Perhaps that is a clue.

What does Netscape want that IE does not? Code:

Adding A Cookie To A Contact Form?

Oct 20, 2010

I want to add a cookie to this form so that if a visitor has already completed this form, the browesr recognizes the user and sends them to a page that states they have already filled out this form.

It is my understanding that using a cookie is the only way to accomplish this and I really do not understand how to use cookies. Shame on me I guess.

Use Form Input To Write Cookie For Redirection?

Jul 18, 2010

The form's drop down menu includes three cities (Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver). When the user presses "submit form", the script should create a cookie to store the user's city selection. Next time the user visits the site, they should be redirected to their city's site, ie. "/vancouver.html"

Right now, the code is returning an error from the onload("redirect();") function. The error indicates I am trying to redirect to "/[object HTMLSelectElement].html", but I am not sure if the trouble is in reading or writing the cookie. For simplicity, I've removed most of the other content from this page (my cookie.js is attached as a .doc):

<title>Site Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cookie.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function redirect() {

Cookie, Form, And Page Refresh Problem!

May 25, 2003

I want to have a form to select between English and Spanish on a site. Upon selecting a radio buton (I prefer to do this without a submit button - just select the radio button and move on), I want a cookie to be set for which selection has occured and then be taken to that page. On the return visit I'd like to check for this cookie and then be sent to the correct page if it exists. Anyone have any ideas? I've found a few cookie tutorials and things, but they invole a submit button or a manual page refresh after the selection.

Cookie Editing - Using - Only Displays Certain Text If The Cookie Is A Certain Number

Apr 30, 2009

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.

IE6 Always Rejects A Particular Cookie Regardless Of Privacy/cookie Setting

Jul 23, 2005

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?

Retrieving Cookie Data Through Document.cookie

Jul 20, 2005

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.
