Q770 How can I take the user email address from a form and store it so that when the user re-visits the site she will not go to the welcome page but will be re-directed to another page?

You are here: irt.org | FAQ | JavaScript | Cookie | Q770 [ previous next ]

In the first page place:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function Get_Cookie(name) {
    var start = document.cookie.indexOf(name+"=");
    var len = start+name.length+1;
    if ((!start) && (name != document.cookie.substring(0,name.length))) return null;
    if (start == -1) return null;
    var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";",len);
    if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
    return unescape(document.cookie.substring(len,end));
}

function get() {
    email = Get_Cookie("email");
    if (email == null) {
         location.href = 'test2.htm';
    }
}

//--></SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="get()">
...
</BODY>
</HTML>

And then on welcome.htm:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function Set_Cookie(name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) {
    document.cookie = name + "=" +escape(value) +
        ( (expires) ? ";expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
        ( (path) ? ";path=" + path : "") +
        ( (domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") +
        ( (secure) ? ";secure" : "");
}

var today = new Date();
var expires = new Date(today.getTime() + (56 * 86400000));

function set() {
    Set_Cookie("email",document.logonForm.email.value,expires);
}
//--></SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<FORM NAME="logonForm" onSubmit="return set();">
<P>Email: <INPUT TYPE="INPUT" NAME="email">
<P><INPUT TYPE="RESET"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>
