@JonaMar 16.2005 — [font=trebuchet ms]Shouldn't you be doing this with a server-side language? After all, some people might not have cookies or JavaScript, and as a result would not be able to login if you didn't provide this functionality regardless of the presence of JavaScript or cookies.[/font]

@JonaMar 16.2005 — [font=trebuchet ms]I prefer that you don't use the term "SSL" to abbreviate "server-side language," because SLL actually is an abbreviation that means "Secure Sockets Layer" and is used for encrypted web sites (e.g., sites that require credit card information).

You should do this in CGI because you can. Anything that cannot be done in CGI but can be done in JavaScript ([i]not[/i] Java) is different, but if you can do it in CGI, you should. If you need help to learn how to use cookies in CGI, you can just search Google. There are more than plenty of tutorials on it. (Besides, it only involves adding an additional header, which is a really simple step; the cookie should be available as a global variable from within most programming languages and CGI is no exception.)[/font]

if (name != null)

}



function init(){

@Warren86Mar 17.2005 — All right. You are intent upon changing the code I posted. A name isn't necessary if you have only ONE cookie for the site. I have nothing further to offer, and am unsubscribing from this thread.

Good luck to you.

@madaxeauthorMar 17.2005 — Look im sorry i have no idea how java works i tried your code and it did not seem to work, please dont be angry im trying to learn and im making mistakes


Madaxe

@Warren86Mar 17.2005 — It's not Java, it's JavaScript. They are not the same. And, I'm not angry. The code I posted works. I'm just not one to engage in this back and forth, back and forth, without good reason.

I'm not a teacher. I won't spend time teaching you or anyone else. You state that you tested my code, but obviously, you DIDN'T TEST IT AS IS. Key words: AS IS!

It's a regrettable and all too frequent occurance.

"I tried your code, but it don't work. I only made one simple change to it, so that it would work with my code, but now it don't work. Can you tell me why your code don't work with mine?"

No. End of the line for me.

Good luck.
