Create Cookie with SubKeys

@dch3authorJul 02.2009 — #After pulling out what's left of my hair and just dumb luck...

function setCookie(expiredays) {
   var exdate = new Date();
   exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + expiredays);
   cookieValue = "DefaultDirectoryType=" + document.getElementById("DirectoryTypeInput").value + "&DefaultDirectoryName=" + document.getElementById("DirectoryNameInput").value + "&DefaultSortOrder=" + document.getElementById("SortOrderInput").value;
   window.alert(cookieValue);
   document.cookie = "ContactDirectoryDefaults" + "=" + cookieValue  + ((expiredays == null) ? "" : ";expires=" + exdate.toGMTString());
  }

The key line being...

document.cookie = "ContactDirectoryDefaults" + "=" + cookieValue + ((expiredays == null) ? "" : ";expires=" + exdate.toGMTString());

Where 'ContactDirectoryDefaults' is used as the 'name' and the string of subkeys is used as the corresponding value as in...

document.cookie ="MyCookie=Car1=Honda&Car2=Ford&Car3=GMC"

Each subkey is delimited with a '&'.

No idea if this works for other browsers, but its working for my environment IE6 & ASP.NET.

Keywords/Phrases: javascript, asp.net, cookie, cookies, multiple values, subkeys, javascript equivalent, store multiple values in one cookie, Javascript Write Multiple values in a Cookie
