HELP!!...Can't Get Cookies to Work

[TheStriker]

Hello,

Using ASP 3.0

I have a text box that searches for the entry the user enters and I also have a checkbox next to the textbox that says 'Remember Me' that writes a cookie. The code:

<%
If (Request.Form("RememberMe") = True) Then
Response.Cookies("SiteCode")("SiteCode") = Request.Form("SiteCode")
Response.Cookies("SiteCode").Expires = #Jan 1, 2100#
Session("MM_Username") = Request.Cookies("SiteCode")
End If
%>

and on the page that checks the cookies and redirects as necessary, the code is:

<%
Response.Buffer = True

If (Request.Cookies("SiteCode")("SiteCode") <> "") Then
Response.Redirect("../Pages/SiteInformation.asp")
End If
%>

For some reason, this code doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, don't write a cookie that will expire in 2100....if the user likes your site he WILL come back way before 2100...

Try amending the code of your second page to :

<%
Response.Buffer = True

If Request.Cookies("SiteCode")("SiteCode") <> "" Then
Response.Redirect("../Pages/SiteInformation.asp")
End If
%>

Thanks Eek,

This is an intranet site so the long expiration date will be required. After countless hours trying new things, I finally got it to work properly. But your response pointed me in the right direction. Thanks again
