The first function creates or modifies a cookie. The second one returns the value of a cookie.
JavaScript code:
setCookie("MyCookie", "jump", 7); // The Cookie "MyCookie" has the value "jump" and expires in 7 days.
function setCookie(c_name, value, expiredays){
var exdate = new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie = c_name+"="+escape(value)+((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
}
JavaScript code:
readCookie("MyCookie"); // Returns value "jump".
function readCookie(name){
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(";");
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++){
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==" ") c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
}
return null;
}
