redirection by cookie

[Jose Olivas]

I need to set a cookie on 5 pages, each being a different "home." Then
those pages will go to 10 common pages, but when they leave the common pages
to go back home I want them to the original home page they came from.

I know that I can do this with check boxes and a refresh. What I want to do
is set the cookie on the first page without it being seen, no need to
refresh since the other pages will be be reading the value set.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what it is that you don't know how to do.
You set a cookie the same way in javascript whether it is a called from a
function or just something floating along in the body.

You don't need checkboxes or a refresh to set a cookie with javascript. Just
set it in the body of the document somewhere and it's set. If you do
redirection (either server-side or via JS location.replac e()) without sending
header data, though, you may have issues. But normal linking / navigation
should be fine.
