Cookie - Interesting code snippet + Puzzle

[Deadline]

Hi,
Please observe the following code...

Response.Cookies("pPEDATE") = strParkEligDate
		Response.Cookies("pPEDATE").expires = 100
Response.Write &quot;<script language=JAVASCRIPT>alert('&quot; & Request.Cookies(&quot;pPEDATE&quot;)  & &quot;') </script>&quot;

I am setting the Cookie called pPEDATE and trying to read it immediately... I am getting a blank/null in the alert box. But when I display the variable

strParkEligDate

, I get a proper date... What could be the problem...??
Thanks!

the answer is that request.cookie is an asp server-side script...the server must process the asp script first and then pass a variable to the javascript function with the date in it... Bastien

Hi Bastien,
Thanks for the reply.. But the code above is a complete server side code enclosed between <%%> . I just forgot to mention that in the above snippet.

Thanks!

try requesting the cookie first and assigning the value to a variable then response.write the javascript code to the client with the variable Bastien
