Basic cookie

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 16.2008

I am a beginning web designer, and i am very confident in html and css, but i can’t get a good handle on javascript. i’m making a comment function where people enter info into a form and click a submit button. the button runs a php page which sends me an email and redirects them back to the original page. The question i have is, when they are redirected back to the original page, how can I put “Message sent” where the form was?

basically, i want a cookie or something that will be gone in 30 seconds. I know that the submit button will need an onClick function to create the cookie, but that’s as far as i know. help is appreciated!

@VozzieauthorFeb 17.2008 — The thing is, i didn't put the php into the html file. How would i do that? i'm referencing a php file by the action in my form, and idk how i would reference it if it's in the same file.

Success!
