thanks for your speedy reply.
I am try to add data to a cookie. I am able to add the data. But I cannot update. When the cookie is created, I can submit a form object and it adds the value. The next time I go to the page. The cookie is there but the value information is gone. How do I prevent that from happening? Also I want to be able to add multiple things to this particular cookie file. So for instance, I have a search field. The Value is searched for and stored in the cookie. If that is not what I want I can search again and that value you just searched is added also. Right now if I try that with my code the first value is delete. I will add the code below
<CODE>
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "<% Response.buffer = True
name = Request.Form("name")
Response.Cookies("name") = name
Response.Cookies("name").Expires=DateAdd("m", 2, Now())
%>
