I know how to write/create cookies in JavaScript.........................................................
//Create the cookies
document.cookie = "Name=" + Name + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Surname=" + Surname + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Number=" + Number + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Email=" + Email + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Country=" + Country + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Company=" + Company + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
document.cookie = "Title=" + Job + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
But how can I read each one of them in JavaScript because I want to populate the text boxes next time the user come to the form?
I have tried this but it does not work:
var cookieName = ReadCookie("Name");
document.getElementById('txtName').value = cookieName;
Edit with Answer:
I used this code....................................
<script type="text/javascript">
function getCookie(c_name)
{
if (document.cookie.length>0)
{
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start!=-1)
{
c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie()
{
Name = getCookie('Name');
Surname = getCookie('Surname');
Email = getCookie('Email');
Company = getCookie('Company');
Title = getCookie('Title');
if (Email!=null && Email!="")
{
//Populate the text boxes..................................
document.FormName.txtName.value = Name;
document.FormName.txtSurname.value = Surname;
document.FormName.txtEmail.value = Email;
document.FormName.txtCompany.value = Company;
document.FormName.txtjob.value = Title;
}
}
</script>
And called the checkCookie() function like so from the window.onload
<SCRIPT TYPE='text/javascript' LANGUAGE='JavaScript'><!-- //
window.onload = initPage;
function initPage()
{
checkCookie();
}
//-->
Enjoy!!
