I have a realestate site, a user clicks on a listing and is redirected to listing detail page. In the listing detail page there is a form to contact the seller. Now,when user clicks on submit, i set javascript cookies , so that if the user comes again he doesn't need to enter details again. I went to url http://www.xyz.com/listing1.html i entered the details , submit , closed the browser and came back, it showed me the values correctly Now, if I go to http://www.xyz.com/listing2.html, it has the same form it doesn't show the values can anyone help me ? <script type="text/javascript"> function getCookie(c_name) { if (document.cookie.length>0) { c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "="); if (c_start!=-1) { c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1; c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start); if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length; return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end)); } } return ""; } function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays) { var exdate=new Date(); exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays); document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+ ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString()); } </script> ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// code to store and retrieve cookies ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// <script type="text/javascript"> document.myfrm.YMLP2.value=getCookie('YMLP2'); document.myfrm.YMLP3.value=getCookie('YMLP3'); document.myfrm.YMLP4.value=getCookie('YMLP4'); document.myfrm.YMLP5.value=getCookie('YMLP5'); document.myfrm.YMLP0.value=getCookie('YMLP0'); function scok() { setCookie('YMLP2',document.myfrm.YMLP2.value,100); setCookie('YMLP3',document.myfrm.YMLP3.value,100); setCookie('YMLP4',document.myfrm.YMLP4.value,100); setCookie('YMLP5',document.myfrm.YMLP5.value,100); setCookie('YMLP0',document.myfrm.YMLP0.value,100); document.myfrm.submit(); } </script>
Hi, I think it doesn't read the same cookie, because you didn't set path or domain where the cookie should work for (now it has for each page one cookie). Try to modify function setCookie() : document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+ ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())+"; path=/"; Any better?
If both pages are in the same folder, then there's no need to set a path. If you could give a URL, this could be fixed straight away.
