Hello all the wizards out there:

I am looking for a way in which the "login id" gets passed over to subsequent pages visited.

I have tried to do this using cookies - the "login id" is getting created, but it is not being read by the subsequent pages visited. I am using the following codes for this purpose:

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--

function getexpirydate( nodays){
var UTCstring;
Today = new Date();
nomilli=Date.parse(Today);
Today.setTime(nomilli+nodays*24*60*60*1000);
UTCstring = Today.toUTCString();
return UTCstring;
}
function getcookie(cookiename) {
var cookiestring=""+document.cookie;
var index1=cookiestring.indexOf(cookiename);
if (index1==-1 || cookiename=="") return "";
var index2=cookiestring.indexOf(';',index1);
if (index2==-1) index2=cookiestring.length;
return
unescape(cookiestring.substring(index1+cookiename.length+1,index2));
}
function setcookie(name,value,duration){
cookiestring=name+"="+escape(value)+";EXPIRES="+getexpirydate(duration);
document.cookie=cookiestring;
if(!getcookie(name)){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>



<script>
<!--
if(getcookie("visitorname")){
document.calmaira3.sample_n.value=getcookie("visitorname");
}
//-->
</script>

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What happens when you: alert(getcookie("visitorname"))

You need to check that what you think is being returned , actually is...
Questions like these really require that you post a link so that we can visit the page(s) and confirm what is happening ourselves...

Hi Willy,

Thanks for the reply.

I am posting the links to the prototype pages that I have set up for
a)LogIn and
b)a typical page
that I need.

http://www.geocities.com/infoseek8888/index.html

The codes used on the two pages are included in the earlier postings.
I want the "logIn ID" to passover as a vasriable that I can read from the "test-page".

Thanks!

I just visited your page and there is absolutely no javascript other than that placed by Geoshytty...

Additionally, if you are trying to fire the getCookie function onload chances are Geoshyty is already using the onload event for one or more of the numerous scripts they place on your pages... I would think this is where your problem lies... Try getting a real host because once you even fix the multiple onload event problem you will need to deal with the numerous cookies they are also using and need to find yours amongst theirs...

Hi Willy,

I tried uploading the page - but, all it would let anyone see by clicking "view page source" is the html.

Therefore, I am putting the entire code for the page here again. Also, I am not planning on using Geocities as my host.

Please help!!!

You can not view the script because it is not there and I am not going to even guess why it isn't... I am going to excuse myself from any further participation in this thread because I can not help you without seeing the cookie script in action and going from page to page to see what values are being passed or what errors are being thrown... Perhaps someone else can help you...

Good Luck;
.....Willy
