AllenD -> Write cookie to text box? (6/28/2001 17:19:00)
Hello All, I am using the below code from codeave.com to record a cookie. But when the cookie is read and written back, it is just plain text. I need the cookie to write to a text box...Anyone know how I can do this from the code below? <% response.buffer=true ' response.buffer=true is used to because there is a mix ' of html output and response.cookies when the cookie is written %> <html> <title>CodeAve.com(Cookie Read & Write)</title> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <% u_input=request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input") 'checks for the variable u_input from a cookie named testcookie on ' the local pc. ' If the cookie does not exist or have a value for the variable ' then check to see if the user is inputting one if trim(u_input) = "" then u_input=trim(request.form("u_input")) ' If the user hase enetered a value to put to the cookie write it out if u_input <> "" then ' Write the user input to the cookie response.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input") = u_input ' Write the expiration date (today + 3 days) to the cookie response.cookies ("testcookie").expires = DATE + 3 ' Read the cookie and write the value of u_input to the browser response.write (request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input")) %> <p> You text has been written to the cookie.<br> Click <a href="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>" target="_blank">here</a> to open this page in a new window. <% else ' If there was no cookie info and there was no value being inputted ' then display the textbox for user input %> <form action="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>" method="post"> <input type=text name=u_input> <input type=submit value=Submit> </form> <% end if ' end check for user inputted value else ' if the cookie has a value ' read the cookie and write the value of u_input to the browser response.write (request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input")) end if ' end check for cookie value %> </body> </html>

According to your post you wanted the cookie brought into a text box based upon your code. I tossed in a couple of forms to "catch" the cookie results. They post to a made up page. You can change it to whatever you like. I left everything else alone.

Also, a cookie will always return just plain text.

code:


<% response.buffer=true
' response.buffer=true is used to because there is a mix
' of html output and response.cookies when the cookie is written
%>
<html>
<title>CodeAve.com(Cookie Read & Write)</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<%
u_input=request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input")
'checks for the variable u_input from a cookie named testcookie on
' the local pc.
' If the cookie does not exist or have a value for the variable
' then check to see if the user is inputting one 
if trim(u_input) = "" then 
u_input=trim(request.form("u_input"))
' If the user hase enetered a value to put to the cookie write it out
if u_input <> "" then 
' Write the user input to the cookie
response.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input") = u_input

' Write the expiration date (today + 3 days) to the cookie
response.cookies ("testcookie").expires = DATE + 3 
' Read the cookie and write the value of u_input to the browser
%>
<form method="POST" action="your_page.asp">
  <p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20" value="<%=response.write (request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input"))%>"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
<p>
You text has been written to the cookie.<br>
Click <a href="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>" target="_blank">here</a> 
to open this page in a new window.
<% else
' If there was no cookie info and there was no value being inputted
' then display the textbox for user input %>
<form action="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>" method="post">
<input type=text name=u_input> <input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>
<% end if ' end check for user inputted value 
else ' if the cookie has a value 
' read the cookie and write the value of u_input to the browser
%>
<form method="POST" action="your_page.asp">
  <p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20" value="<%=response.write (request.cookies ("testcookie")("u_input"))%>"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
<% end if ' end check for cookie value %>
</body>
</html>
