via _javascript_ with the following code....< see very below for how I'm
trying to delete them >. Just seems funny and odd, that a JS alert ( returns
different cookie values ). For example... the QUESTION cookie.. keeps coming
back....... I've also included code from my application.cfm page as well.
I'm starting to get frustrated... I may use session variables instead....
errrrgghhh.
The reason I'm setting them with JS as opposed to just coldfusion only, is
that I want the cookies to be stored after the user enters it into a form
field without the form being submitted. I need the data to be persistent in
my form. I thought of other ways to do this... such as having the JS call
another CF page ( which creates session variables. And then closing the page
right away ). But that seems dumb... the cookies should be working.
// CODE TO SET THE COOKIES
function setdacookie(what, value, danum)
{
if(what == "question")
{
document.cookie = "QUESTION=" + value ;
alert(document.cookie);
}
else if(what == "question_o")
{
if( eval("document.theform.optional.checked") == true )
{
eval("document.theform.optional.checked = true"); value =
true; }
else
{
eval("document.theform.optional.checked = false"); value = false; }
document.cookie = "OPTIONAL=" + value ;
}
else
{
if(danum == 4)
{
if( eval("document.theform." + what + ".checked") == true )
{
eval("document.theform." + what + ".checked = true"); value =
true;
}
else
{
eval("document.theform." + what + ".checked = false"); value =
false; }
}
document.cookie = what + "=" + value ;
}
}
// APPLICATION.CFM CODE
<cfapplication name="surveyapp"
sessionmanagement="yes"
setclientcookies="yes"
sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0, 0, 20, 0)#"
applicationtimeout="#createtimespan(0, 0, 20, 0)#"
