Easy! cookies

[toughGirl]

I have created a simple set up but one little thing is not working!!

go to:

http://home.earthlink.net/~toughgirl2/test.htm

With the login page, a cookie is set (if the box is checked) and it tells you on the next page what your name is. I also have a registration page that is validated with the field names beginning with 'required'. So I made a second page to jump to after registration is completed, but for some reason it won't read this cookie! The code is exactly the same as the other page, but it just wont work here! ugh

When you set the cookie, specify path=/

I think that should fix your problem...

Edit the last line of code in your setCookie function to the following:

document.cookie = cookieStr+";expires=" + expireDate.toGMTString() + ";path=/"

Oops, I was looking at the wrong page. In your login_action2 page you have the following code:
if(getCookie("username&quot){
document.write(getCookie("username&quot);

But there's no getCookie function on this page...just a getCookie2 function.

Hope that helped...

Actually the code that's in the login_action2 page is:

if(getCookie2("requiredusername")){
	document.write(getCookie("requiredusername"));

I don't know where my head's at today...

Thanks for you attention! So is this code correct? The reason i had a second login_action page is because my fields were different. So the problem is that the login_action2 isnt reading the cookie:requiredusername . I tried to add the path/ but that didnt work.

Is there something I should change? tG

On the login_action2 page change try changing the code:
if(getCookie2("requiredusername&quot){
document.write(getCookie("requiredusername&quot);
}

To:
if(getCookie2("requiredusername&quot){
document.write(getCookie2("requiredusername&quot);
}

If this doesn't work let me know and I'll take a look at it again tomorrow when I'm not so tired...
