[JS]Call an array from another function

[WouterP]

Hello,

I made a page that creates a cookie with multiple properties/ values. when I recall the cookie I split them up and put them into an assiociative array.
but when I try to recall them IE gives &quot;error: stored_info is not defined&quot;. I have placed &quot;<<<<<<<<&quot; where the error occurs.

code to create cookie

//create cookie
var cookie_inhoud = "test1:1~test1:2"
document.cookie = "test_cookie=" + escape(cookie_inhoud);

code to get the cookie information

//get cookie
function getCookie() {
var original_cookie = document.cookie;
var decoded_cookie = unescape(original_cookie);
//remove cookie title
var cookie_splitted = decoded_cookie.split("=");
var cookie_contains = cookie_splitted[1];
//put the rest into an array
var cookie_contains_splitted = cookie_contains.split("~");
//split the rest with a loop
for (var loop = 0; loop < cookie_contains_splitted.length; loop++) {
var cookie_loop1 = cookie_contains_splitted[loop];
var cookie_loop2 = cookie_loop1.split(&quot;:&quot;);
var property = cookie_loop2[0];
var value = cookie_loop2[1];
//<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<error below
stored_info[property] = value;
//<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<error above
}
}

here I want to get information from stored_info, but then the error is given.

function test() {
stored_info = new Array();
getCookie(stored_info);
alert(stored_info["test1"]);
}

I tried several other options and variables, but nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me out of this.

Wouter

I'm afraid I've never manipulated cookies from javascript, but these two faqs might help you:
