What does your function "SetCookie( )" look like?

Re: Splitting cookie

Like this:

function SetCookie(name, value) {
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value);
}

If you do:
alert(unescape( document.cookie ));

do you get this?
sales=pan1=23,p an3=153,pan4=21 ,pan9=5

Are you sure that you don't want:

array1=("pan1", "pan3","pan4"," pan9")
array2=(23,153, 21,5)

isntead of:

array1=("sales" ,"pan1","pan3", "pan4","pan 9")
array2=(23,153, 21,5)

thus array1[0] and array2[0] will correspond to "pan1" and "23".

Re: Splitting cookie

I need 'sales' to be in array1 as well as the rest as it is used to form the
heading of the bar chart

Will this work for you?

<html>
<head>
<title>namevals .htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var array1 = new Array();
var array2 = new Array();
function GetCookie() {
var what = unescape(docume nt.cookie);
array1[0] = what.substr(0,w hat.indexOf("=" ));
what = what.substr(wha t.indexOf("=")+ 1);
var pair = what.split(",") ;
var j = 1;
var k = 0;
for (var i=0; i<pair.length; i++) {
var item = pair[i].split("=");
array1[j++] = '"' + item[0] + '"';
array2[k++] = item[1];
}
// display contents of both arrays:
what = unescape(docume nt.cookie);
what += "\n\n array1 = " + array1.join("," );
what += "\n\n array2 = " + array2.join("," );
alert(what);
}
function SetCookie(name, value) {
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="SetCook ie('sales','pan 1=23,pan3=153,p an4=21,pan9=5') ">

Re: Splitting cookie

Have run the script and the alert returns the following:

array1=,"","pan 3","pan4","pan9 "
array2=,153,21, 5;style

And I should have mention that I am using script which allows me to change
text size on the page and saves the prefered values as a cookie, hence the
appearance of style in the second array. I am trying only to the
information listed for sales, if that makes sense

Would you change
alert(what);
to
document.write( what);
and post the results here.

Rather just add the following after the alert():

what = unescape(docume nt.cookie);
what += "<br><br> array1 = " + array1.join("," );
what += "<br><br> array2 = " + array2.join("," );
document.write( what);

Here's what I get:

sales=pan1=23,p an3=153,pan4=21 ,pan9=5

array1 = sales,"pan1","p an3","pan4","pa n9"

array2 = 23,153,21,5

I forgot the first element was supposed to quoted; try this:

<html>
<head>
<title>namevals .htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var array1 = new Array();
var array2 = new Array();
function GetCookie() {
var what = unescape(docume nt.cookie);
array1[0] = '"' + what.substr(0,w hat.indexOf("=" )) + '"';
what = what.substr(wha t.indexOf("=")+ 1);
var pair = what.split(",") ;
var j = 1;
var k = 0;
for (var i=0; i<pair.length; i++) {
var item = pair[i].split("=");
array1[j++] = '"' + item[0] + '"';
array2[k++] = item[1];
}
what = unescape(docume nt.cookie);
what += "<br><br> array1 = " + array1.join("," );
what += "<br><br> array2 = " + array2.join("," );
document.write( what);
}
function SetCookie(name, value) {
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="SetCook ie('sales','pan 1=23,pan3=153,p an4=21,pan9=5') ">
<a href="javascrip t:GetCookie()"> Get Cookie</a>
</body>
</html>

You should get this:

sales=pan1=23,p an3=153,pan4=21 ,pan9=5

array1 = "sales","pan1", "pan3","pan4"," pan9"

array2 = 23,153,21,5
