Losing Response.Cookies

ashaig · Sep 26, 2002

Hi,

I'm setting up a cookie at the beginning of a long-winded application (lots of data entry) and by the time I want to retrieve it (maybe 30 minutes later) to save to database its gone!
I've tried seting Expires property to 2 days in advance to no avail. Code is below - the Response.Cookies statement is at bottom. Any suggestions gratefully received.

<SCRIPT language=vbscript runat=server>

Function addDate(thedate)

addDate = DateAdd("d", 2, thedate)

End Function
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>

<%
var dt = new Date();
var mon = dt.getMonth() + 1;
var today = dt.getDate();
var tomorrow = dt.getDate();
if (today < "10&quot

{
today = "0" + dt.getDate();
}
if (tomorrow < "10&quot

{
tomorrow = "0" + tomorrow;
}
var yr = dt.getFullYear();
var sdate = today + "/" + mon + "/" + yr;
var sysdate = tomorrow + "/" + mon + "/" + yr;
sysdate = addDate(sysdate);

Response.Cookies("staffid&quot

= loRS.fields.getValue("PERSON_ID&quot

;
Response.Cookies("staffid&quot

.Expires = sysdate;
%>

Ok, maybe too simple to be right but just do Response.Cookies("staffid&quot

.Expires = Date + 1

and forget about all this

var sysdate = tomorrow + "/" + mon + "/" + yr;
sysdate = addDate(sysdate);
etc Saturday 12.00
