( Sorry, no chocolate chips. :-) } /* Syntax rules: *********************** Making the Cookie / Reading the Cookie *********************** A. Name 1. No characters besides A-Z, a-z, numerals, and the underscore. 2. Probably don't want to use an especially long name. B. Value 1. Here's the actual content. 2. Anything goes here up to 4000 characters. C. Expiry (This is what shines!) 1. Type in the NUMBER OF DAYS to save the cookie or: 2. Leave this out and the cookie will expire during the current session. D. Path 1. Sets a restriction on the portion of the server allowed to access a cookie. 2. Use a slash "/" to allow any page from your site to obtain the cookie. E. Domain 1. Sets a domain as in MAIL.yahoo.com ( EMPHASIS ADDED!!! ). 2. By default this would be set to the same as the cookie's origin domain. F. Secure 1. If you want access to the cookie ONLY during a secure connection. 2. Normally you'd want this to protect sensitive information. You would type this... makeCookie('friendly_cookie','Mr. Smith is tall.',18,'/'); ...to make a cookie with a NAME of friendly_cookie, a VALUE of "Mr. Smith is tall.", an EXPIRATION of 18 days later, and having the most accessible PATH of /. You would type this... var YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME = readCookie('friendly_cookie'); ...to set the variable of YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME to the value of the cookie with a NAME of friendly_cookie or to null if there was no cookie available named friendly_cookie.
