Cookies are easy to use in ASP?

[SkiCheif]

I need help to find out what I am missing.

I have a page that the user picks three items (a date and two names.. all in different fields)

When they submit the form, I use the following code (on the next page) to assign values to transfer over to the remainding pages that need the cookie:

Response.Cookies("MatchDate") = Request.Form("txtMatchDate")
Response.Cookies("HomeTeam") = Request.Form("cboHomeTeam")
Response.Cookies("VisitingTeam") = Request.Form("cboVisitingTeam")

I test the cookie(s) and only the 'MatchDate' cookie will display.

SO, why can't I access them all? I have been testing this in different ways for a week and it appears to be hit and miss!?! I have never seen anything like it.

The only theory that I that I am ignorant. I just can't figure it out.

Thanks for your help

Check this, this is working fine.

Page 1(form.asp)
----------------------------------------------------

<%
Response.Cookies("MatchDate") = Request.Form("txtMatchDate")
Response.Cookies("HomeTeam") = Request.Form("cboHomeTeam")
Response.Cookies("VisitingTeam") = Request.Form("cboVisitingTeam")
%>
<hr>
<form action="" method="post">
Match date<input type="text" name="txtMatchDate"><br>
Home Team<input type="text" name="cboHomeTeam"><br>
Visiting Team<input type="text" name="cboVisitingTeam"><br>
<input type="submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
</form>

<hr>
<a href="check.asp">click</a>



------------------------------------------------------
Page 2(check.asp)
------------------------------------------------------
<%
a=Request.Cookies("MatchDate")
b=Request.Cookies("HomeTeam")
c=Request.Cookies("VisitingTeam")

%>
<hr>
Match date:-<%=a%>
<br>
Home Team:-<%=b%>
<br>
Visiting Team:- <%=c%><br>
<hr>




This should work.

Pls try.

SkiCheif, try Response.Writing the Request.Form values after you submit to the page that is setting the cookies. I'm wondering if it is possible the formnames don't math up or your somehow getting empty values.

If you are getting empty form values, make sure the form you are sending from has the correct method applied (Get or Post).

I did check to see that it was POST. thanks

When I submit the form I am populating a database and the information is in the fields.
However, when I submit it on the next page it crashes because the values aren't present.

I have done cookies and never have I seen this.

Thanks for the help

Pls check the code for the Expires attribute of the cookie.

or

Try using a Cookies collection like:-

<%
Response.Cookies("User")("MatchDate") = Request.Form("txtMatchDate")
Response.Cookies("User")("HomeTeam") = Request.Form("cboHomeTeam")
Response.Cookies("User")("VisitingTeam") = Request.Form("cboVisitingTeam")
%>


Hoping something positive this time.
