Javascript and FMPro? CGI calls.

[twentyjars]

I am having trouble using cookies to find records...

When querying a field, using a java defined function doesn't work...

-author='getCookie(name)' etc...

I am not sure of the syntax, or even if it is possible. Function goes inside any " " marks, or? Help?!

make sure that your JS code does not contain "<!--"
make sure your browser(s) is set to accept cookies
....I can only estimate CDML:
