Is this possible?

On a certain page I click on a button, which then sets a cookie for the url of that particular page.
Then I click on a second button to go to the next page where there is a form where the previous cookie already is printed out.
This form with the url from the cookie is later emailed.
All this works fine.
My question is can I combine the two clicks into one, so that the cookie is set on that page and the form on the next page is opened with the cookie printed out.

@requestcodeOct 02.2003 — #Probably, but we need to see your code to figure out how.

@Khalid_AliOct 02.2003 — #If I understand you correctly, then what you can do is in the function where you read the cookie in the next page,in the same function you can submit the form

@Anne_VanceauthorOct 02.2003 — #On page 1

I can set a cookie

<title></title>
  <script type="text/javascript">

</script>

</head>

and at the bottom there is a button to set the cookie.

also a second button to go to the form

<a href="javascript:write_cookie()">button 1</a>

<a href="bestel.php">button 2</a>

On my form page I can read the cookie, which is already filled into a field.

<title></title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



</script>

</head>

<TR>

<TD align=right width="20%">Foto</TD>

<TD align=left width="70%"><input type="text" size=70 value=<?php echo $_COOKIE['bestelling']; ?> name="invoer">

</TD>

I need the url of the first page to show in the second page since this url tells me which picture was selected.

I am looking at combining these two buttos to one button on page oneand then go to the form.

Hope it makes sense

@Khalid_AliOct 02.2003 — #instead of this

<a href="java script:write_cookie()">button 1</a>

<a href="bestel.php">button 2</a>

use this

<a href="bestel.php" onclick="write_cookie();return true;>new button </a>

@requestcodeOct 02.2003 — #Or you could change your function to this:

function write_cookie()

{

var verval =1000*60*60*24;

var nu = new Date();

var vervaltijd = new Date(nu.getTime() +

verval);

vervaltijd = vervaltijd.toGMTString() ;

document.cookie ="bestelling="+document.location +

"; expires=" + vervaltijd + ";" ;

location.href="bestel.php"

}

And then just have the one link:

<a href="java script:write_cookie()">button 1</a>

Either way should work.
