Setting cookies in JavaScript?

[rjoseph]

Hi Guys

I think I have a really easy one for you.

I am currently using the following script to store information in cookies:

-------------SCRIPT--------------
<%
response.cookie s("prefs")("mak e")="Aston Martin"
response.cookie s("prefs")("mod el")="Vanquis h"
response.cookie s("prefs")("pri ce")="£40000"
For Each cookie in Response.Cookie s
Response.Cookie s(cookie).Expir es = now()+365
Next
%>
-------------END-------------

This works just fine in my ASP pages but now I need to incorporate the same method into some xml pages and therefore believe I need to use Javascript. I have spent hours reading numerous (how to set cookies in Javascript) articles and have not found a simple example that matches what I want to achieve above.

Can anyone please put me out of my misery and provide me with a simple piece of code that I can use in my xml page to achieve the above?

If so, then that would be great.

I look forward to hearing from you

Look this is a Java Forum.
Java!=JavaScrip t :-)
So post the code in JavaScript forum.
And have a look at this code ......
[code=javascript]
function createCookie(na me,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(da te.getTime()+(d ays*24*60*60*10 00));
var expires = "; expires="+date. toGMTString();
}
else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+ expires+"; path=/";
}

function readCookie(name ) {
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie .split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c .length);
if (c.indexOf(name EQ) == 0) return c.substring(nam eEQ.length,c.le ngth);
}
return null;
}

function eraseCookie(nam e) {
createCookie(na me,"",-1);
}
[/code]
Good Luck with your try :-)

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.
