Really need help with cookies

[mmarkym]

I've got a form with many checkboxes. The name for the form checkboxes is "menu"

In my ASP page I'm trying to set cookies and then test for their presence.

<%

dim iCount

I'm confused on the syntax of setting a cookie. specificaly the name for the cookie, response.cookie("this here"). I've chosen menu, the same name as the checkboxes but am not sure.

for iCount=1 to request.form("menu").count

--here i'm trying to set the cookies.--
response.cookies("menu") = request.form("menu")(iCount)

next

--and here I'm trying to retrieve cookies.--
for x=0 to uBound(request.cookies("menu"))
response.write "<br>" & x & " = " & request.cookies("menu")(x)
next %>

You are only writing one entry...

Try doing this...

<%
For iCount = 1 To Request.Form("menu").count
    Response.Cookies("menu" & iCount) = Request.Form("menu")(iCount)
Next

'Loop through each Cookie
For Each x in Request.Cookies
     Response.Write "<br>" & x & " = " & Request.Cookies(x)
Next
%>
