JavaScript - Cookie Expiration Date Not Being Set Right?
Hello all, I need some quick help with one of my scripts.
It's supposed to set the expiration date of all the cookies on my page for one year, but it's not working. I know it's not working because Safari lets you see the expiration date for each cookie set on a page, and it didn't show it for the elements being set on my page. I'm using jQuery for this, so heres my one script: Code: var currentRotation=null;
function checkOrientAndLocation(){
if(currentRotation != window.orientation){
setOrientation();
}
}
function setOrientation(){
switch(window.orientation){
case 0:
orient = 'portrait';
break;
case 90:
orient = 'landscape';
break;
case -90:
orient = 'landscape';
break;
}
currentRotation = window.orientation;
document.body.setAttribute("orient",orient);
setTimeout(scrollTo,0,0,1);
}
$(window).unload(function() { // On page unload
$('.remember').each(function() { // Save each value to expire in a year
$.cookie(this.id, this.value, {expires: 365});
});
$('.draggable').each(function() { // Save draggable positions
var draggable = $(this);
$.cookie(this.id, draggable.css('top') + '_' + draggable.css('left'), {expires: 365});
$.cookie('disp' + this.id, draggable.css('display'), {expires: 365});
});
});
$(function() {
var val, pos, disp;
setInterval(checkOrientAndLocation,1000);
$('.remember').each(function() {
var val = $.cookie(this.id); // Retrieve value for this element
if (val) {
this.value = val;
}
}
);
$('.draggable').each(function() {
var pos = $.cookie(this.id); // Retrieve values for this element
if (pos) {
pos = pos.split('_');
$(this).css({position: 'absolute', top: pos[0], left: pos[1]});
}
var disp = $.cookie('disp' + this.id);
if (disp) {
this.style.display = disp;
}
}
).touch({animate: false, sticky: false, dragx: true, dragy: true,
rotate: false, resort: false, scale: false
});
});
There's also a file that sets the basic elements for the cookie, but the expiration date code should be in the file above. Help is very much appreciated. Similar TutorialsHello, I am using jQuery to set a cookie and the expiration date is: Code: date.setTime(date.getTime() + (options.expires * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); which lasts for 1 day, but I would like the cookie to not expire for a long time, is this possible? I know google has one that like expires in 2035 or something but I would like this on to last long. What should I do? Trying to setup a cookie read/write in JS. Page 1 sets the JS cookie using Flash. Page 2 reads the JS cookie from Flash. I have this working. The problem is that I need the cookie to expire in a matter of seconds. This is my code for creating the cookie and expiration: Code: function setCookie(name, value)
{
var today=new Date;
today.setTime(today.getTime()+3000);
document.cookie = name+"="+value; +"; expires="+today.toGMTString();
//alert(name + " "+value);
alert("Value is: "+value+"\n Expires in: "+today);
}
The problem isn't that cookie isn't there. I just can't seem to get it to expire. Please help. I'm trying to find a way to display a future date in short format (as an expiration date) with Javascript. I've figured out how to do it with long format, but have no idea how to convert it and I'm not great with Javascript. Here is code that I found on another forum and modified: Code: <!doctype html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>Expires</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var myDelayInDays=6, myDate=new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+myDelayInDays);
document.write('Expires: ' + myDate.toLocaleDateString());
</script>
</body>
</html>
</body>
</html>
Which displays: "Expires: Monday, May 21, 2012" I would like it to display: "Expires: 05/21/2012" Can anyone help?! I would like to know a script for when you have a page that can expire (or cannot be open again) --- a time limit for like 24 hours. Because I'm going to make a site where people can buy website designs, they buy it off paypal, they get redirected to a site where the code is located and the site will get expired in 24 hours -- then, they wouldn't be able to open the page again. If anyone knows the script, please post it here! Thank you x Hi everyone, I am using a jQuery cookie script to set the cookie of some elements on my website. One of the problems is that I need the cookie to not expire after one day, I need it to expire after a while (I'm going to start off with a year). Here's my script, the red part is what I've been editing. Code: /**

Not sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other. For example: if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date). if both dates have values, do nothing. Thanks. Using Adobe Form Javascript validation, how would I do this code for Visual Basic in Javascript (non web) Code: If PurchaseDate.Value > Date Then
MsgBox ("PurchaseDate cannot be greater than Today's Date!")
Cancel = True
End If
Something along these lines but this isnt working: Code: If (PurchaseDate.Value > Date) Then
{
app.alert ("Purchase Date cannot be greater than Today's Date!");
}
Thanks Hi, I need to add days to a date in javascript, My requirement is as follows: Date is coming from a textbox. eg:- 26/07/2010 days from this statement var day1=document.getElementById('<%=HiddenDate.ClientID %>').value; an eg:- if the date is 28/01/2012 and days Needed to be added=5 the added date should be 02/02/2012. Can anybody help me? Thanks Jamuna Hi, I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31) So; 1/12/2010 is NOT wanted 01/12/2010 IS wanted The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program). Code: </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var todaysDate = new Date();

Can someone point me in the right direction please? I have a drop down menu where people can select a month, day and year. Based on their selection, I want to show them an image. If their selection is >= July 26, 2010 but <= July 25, 2011, show the red image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2011 but <= July 25, 2012, show the white image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2012 but <= July 25, 2013, show the blue image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2013 but <= July 25, 2014, show the yellow image; I don't know how to compare a selected date to a range of dates like this.

{
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++)
{
x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
if (x==c_name)
{
return unescape(y);
}
}
}
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}
function checkCookie(username)
{
var username=getCookie("username");
if (username!=null && username!="")
{
document.getElementById("feedback").innerHTML = " last time you scored " + username);
setCookie("username",username,365);
}
else
{
if (username=null || username="")
{
setCookie("username",username,365);
}
}
}
I kept the variable names the same so you can follow and I don't confuse myself and make things more complected while im trying to debug it. Some extra information. checkcookie is been given a variable it is just a simple number. Im making a questionnaire which is done but I wont the top of the page to tell the user how much they scored last or tell them this is their first time trying it. The variable being passed to check cookie is their score . at the moment when I click the submit button nothing happens. Where it should trigger a score calculating function which should then call the checkcookie function while passing the score it calculated. I would love if someone can point me in the right direction or help me correct it or atleast explain to me whats going wrong. Thanks and a lots of appreciation if anyone can spare the time Hello. I am a neewb, so bare with me. This code is not working correctly for some reason. If I use it in Internet Explorer it will work, but only if you bring up the history in the url tab. You cannot refresh it for whatever reason. so basically it works in Explorer but no refresh. The big problem is Mozilla. I will not work at all. I have all of the cookies set for third party, remember last visit and so on. It will only display the welcome page for first time visitor. Then it will show the subsequent page, however it will not increment the count +1. I am not sure what is going on here, Explorer works, but with no refresh, and Mozilla does not really work at all? Here is my script currently: <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hitMySite() { var lastDate = new Date(); lastDate.setMonth(lastDate.getMonth()); var dateString = (lastDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + lastDate.getDate() + "/" + lastDate.getFullYear(); if (document.cookie != "") { counter = document.cookie.split("=")[1]; counter = parseInt(counter) + 1; date = document.cookie.split(":")[2]; var expireDate = new Date(); expireDate.setMonth(expireDate.getMonth() + 12); document.cookie = "counter=" + counter + ":date:" + dateString + ";expires=" + expireDate.toGMTString(); document.write("<h1>You last visited this page on: " + date + "<br />You have been to this page " + counter + " times.</h1>"); } else { document.write("<h1>Welcome to my Web site! This is your first visit here so be sure to bookmark my page!</h1>"); var counter = 1; var expireDate = new Date(); expireDate.setMonth(expireDate.getMonth() + 12); document.cookie = "counter=" + counter + ":date:" + dateString + ";expires=" + expireDate.toGMTString(); } } /* ]]> */ </script> </head> <body onload="hitMySite()"> </body> </html> Hi everyone! Got a quick (cookie) question. I looked on the internet for some cookie scripts (redirect ones), but unfortunately haven't been too lucky with these. What I want to do is the following: When the cookie is not found it goes to my main page, for example: "www.anynamehere.com" On the main page I can select where I want to go - 'Contacts', 'News', 'Forums' and so on. The main page has a drop down list with these options, each option has it's own link. When I click on 'continue' and go to the specific link (ex. www.anynamehere.com/contacts.html) it should remember my selection, so next time I log into www.anynamehere.com it's automatically will take me to contacts.html. I will not see the main page anymore. Now, if from the contacts page I select 'News' and go to www.anynamehere.com/news.html it has to remember that link as well. So if I close my browser and then reopen it, it should take me to www.anyname.com/news.html. I hope that makes sense. If anyone can give me any pointers I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe there is a script like that available online, I just wasn't lucky enough to find one. Thank you in advance! Hi im kind of new to cookies in Javascript. But after reading a few tutorials on how the work I started to wonder. Is it possible to grab a cookie made by my phpbb forum? I would love to be able to login on my site using my phpbb forum cookies. Anway if this is a bad idea ore won't work for any reason plz let me know. Thanks Hi, I want to know how we can get the cookie size. In Mozilla firefox i got Name Value Host Path Expire. The same way i want to get cookie size also . Please advise me how can i get it using javascript. I cannot get the cookie to save, I'm pretty new at web designing in general. If you could, the name of the cookie be cirulcook, also any advice you would have for me would be great! Code: <script><!--
function SETcookie(){
document.cookie="Selected="+document.getElementById('myList').selectedIndex;
}
function GETcookie(){
if (document.cookie){
eval(document.cookie);
document.getElementById('myList').selectedIndex=Selected;
}}// --></script>
</head>
<body onLoad="GETcookie()">
<select id="myList" onChange="SETcookie()">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
<option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>
Frnds,i need some help related to cookie handling in JS.Suppose i created a cookie with an expiration time of 1 month.Now,for the time my current browser session is running,the cookie is stored in browser memory.When the browser is closed,the cookie gets written to HD.(I need to know where it is written). Next day,when the script page is opened,the browser should check the cookie created last day and display its value in the page.. Does this operation handled by document.cookie call??I mean..setting cookie will definitely require this call,but what about fetching it back next day???what call should be used for fetching... |
