setting checkbox

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 19.2005

I created a playlist database of Windows Media files.
I created an HTML page with a list of links to the playlists.
I want to enable the user to click a checkbox when they have finished listening to the playlist.
The checkbox needs to be checked when they visit the page again.

There would need to be a checkbox for each playlist. (approx. 500)
This is all contained on one computer without using an internet connection.

I simply want to enable the user to know where they left off the last time they were on the page.

I have tried cookies but it didn’t work. (HTML Goodies: So you want to set a Cookie?) I’m sure that I am not finding the correct script/html matchup to make it work. I was successful in getting the cookie to work as long as I didn’t close the browser. (jut one cookie, not multiple)

There must be a way to do this. I am building this for a handicapped friend and trying to simplify as much as possible for him.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, kydco

@phpnoviceMar 19.2005 — If the cookie worked as long as the browser was open, then you just need to add a future expiration date to the cookie. Show the code you used to create the cookie and I'll show you how to properly add a future expiration date to said cookie.

@PeOfEoMar 20.2005 — [COLOR=deeppink]Goodies tutorials have prooved to be fairly worthless time and time again. http://javascript.internet.com/cookies/ maybe some of those will help you solve your problem. [/COLOR]
