JavaScript - Session Cookies Not Working With Vista
Has anyone else come across this issue? Setting and using a session cookie works everywhere else - Mac, PC, IE, FF, etc. - everywhere except with MS Vista running on the machine. I'm not sure what the problem is and a Google search didn't reveal much.
Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsEDIT: Post deleted
So I have this client who has a web form, the form was not made by me, I am debugging it as it has error's it seems. He has had 3 clients in the past two days complain they cannot finish the form, when they get to step 2 and click the button to go from step 2 to 3 they get this error: Quote: Type Error: Unable to get value of the property (error): Object is null and undefined. Now to me that looks to be JS, but there is no way at all to replicate it! I have tried this same procedure in IE6(XP), IE8(XP), Chrome, FF and it never happens to me ever. I am pretty sure it's JS related since the form is never reloaded for each page, it's a JS tab paging system for each step. Now he did finally get answer's from two of the 3 that had problems. They only said they were using IE on Windows Vista. And user's are not the most techie so I have been trying for two days to get info from them and nothing, info like IE version and what toolbar's and plugins they might have installed. Nothing. So I am left here at this point. Does anyone know of anything related in Vista? I don't have Vista so I cannot test this. I am testing right now on 7 with IE8 and then upgrading it to IE9 to test on 7 with IE9. The site is he https://optimalmedicalstaffing.com/register.php It's on step two, you get to step 2 by finishing step 1 and clicking on "Complete Application" to go to step 2. It's when clicking on the button to continue from step 2 to 3 that it happens. As I said I cannot seem to duplicate this in any way. I was hoping someone had Vista and IE to test for me, since your a coder you can screenshot for me the error and what happens, maybe that will help ha ha Or maybe this has happened to someone before, the form seems to be using Dojo as it's FW. Thanks. Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a sound by using the mouseover event on JS. The script works fine on my husband's computer (IE8, windows xp), but does not work on mine (IE8, Vista). Click on the link below to give you an idea. Just mouseover the images and you should hear an elephant and duck sound. Mouseover the word "elephant" and it "should" make an elephant sound. http://www.mypreciousarrival.com/Ani...oundtest4.html I just need to find a script that will work with different operating systems (or at least windows xp and vista) and browsers (or at least IE) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I would like to not resort to any macromedia or schockwave scripting. Thank you! In order to pass a session Id using the URL This works fine: Code: <h1 id="goHome"><a href="home.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>">Inicio</a></h1> The h1 tags are inside little divs like buttoms, so the divs are links to home.php to: Code: function myMenu() { olinkA=document.getElementById("goHome"); //add event... addEvent(oLinkA,'click',goNow); } //this does not work //the home.php has no session at all function goNow() { location.href="home.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>"; } Any idea ? how can I send the session ID to the next page using Javascript as a link sender (location.href) ? Thanks Hi all, I need some help. I have a javascript thing on my site that changes the css layout from standard to alternate, and that works fine. Now I am wondering if it's possible for it to store a cookie, that when any of the pages on my site (this javascript thing is on every page) are re-loaded or the user navigates to a different page, it will keep the alternate stylesheet. Then, when it is changed back, the cookie gets deleted. Here's my code: Header: Code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" title="default" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="/wp-content/themes/new/darkside.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="darkside" /> <script language="javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/new/darkside.js"></script> Darkside.js Code: // *** TO BE CUSTOMISED *** var style_cookie_name = "style" ; var style_cookie_duration = 30 ; // *** END OF CUSTOMISABLE SECTION *** function switch_style ( css_title ) { // You may use this script on your site free of charge provided // you do not remote this notice or the URL below. Script from // http://www.thesitewizard.com/javascripts/change-style-sheets.shtml var i, link_tag ; for (i = 0, link_tag = document.getElementsByTagName("link") ; i < link_tag.length ; i++ ) { if ((link_tag[i].rel.indexOf( "stylesheet" ) != -1) && link_tag[i].title) { link_tag[i].disabled = true ; if (link_tag[i].title == css_title) { link_tag[i].disabled = false ; } } set_cookie( style_cookie_name, css_title, style_cookie_duration ); } } function set_style_from_cookie() { var css_title = get_cookie( style_cookie_name ); if (css_title.length) { switch_style( css_title ); } } function set_cookie ( cookie_name, cookie_value, lifespan_in_days, valid_domain ) { // http://www.thesitewizard.com/javascripts/cookies.shtml var domain_string = valid_domain ? ("; domain=" + valid_domain) : '' ; document.cookie = cookie_name + "=" + encodeURIComponent( cookie_value ) + "; max-age=" + 60 * 60 * 24 * lifespan_in_days + "; path=/" + domain_string ; } function get_cookie ( cookie_name ) { // http://www.thesitewizard.com/javascripts/cookies.shtml var cookie_string = document.cookie ; if (cookie_string.length != 0) { var cookie_value = cookie_string.match ( '(^|;)[\s]*' + cookie_name + '=([^;]*)' ); return decodeURIComponent ( cookie_value[2] ) ; } return '' ; } EDIT: Actually, this is what happens: The user enters the konami code and a div shows/hides. There you are given the option to turn off/on the alternate style. Then I want the cookie to begin.. Hi, Im a bit stuck on something, any help is greatly appreciated. I want a user to input a name, age, gender, city into a form, this gets stored in some cookies and when they click submit they are taken to another page where their details are displayed in the webpage. Thanks for the help. Ive looked it up on google and yahoo but i just cant find good explanations on how to use cookies?
Hi there, I am writing an extension for google chrome (or at least trying to, it's my first project), and I'm kinda stuck on one part. I'd like to save 2 variables, called "c" and "notes". I'd like it to get the cookies onLoad, and save them onUnload. I've tried different codes, but right now I just can't figure out how to set notes and c to the value of the cookie. Could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance. Hi is it possible to email cookies to my email address. I have a order form and it saves all the information within a cookie and then goes to the payment page. I want to email the order details along with the payment detail to myself.

Hi there Guys, I'm looking to set a cookie that lasts 24 hours and has a specific name. The function is to check how many times a page has been visited by individual people and display it at the bottom of a HTML page. I have an existing script that holds the data for 6 months that i have found as below. My question, Can any one help me change this to the required time? I'm a Noob when it comes to java scripting but enthusiastic to learn. Code: <SCRIPT> expireDate = new Date expireDate.setMonth(expireDate.getMonth()+6) jcount = eval(cookieVal("jaafarCounter")) jcount++ document.cookie = "test jaafarCounter="+jcount+";expires=" + expireDate.toGMTString() function cookieVal(cookieName) { thisCookie = document.cookie.split("; ") for (i=0; i<thisCookie.length; i++){ if (cookieName == thisCookie[i].split("=")[0]){ return thisCookie[i].split("=")[1] } } return 0 } function page_counter(){ for (i=0;i<(3-jcount.toString().length);i++) document.write('<span class="counter">0</span>') for (y=0;y<(jcount.toString().length);y++) document.write('<span class="counter">'+jcount.toString().charAt(y)+'</span>') } </SCRIPT> On my home page i have a form which accepts data and on clicking the accept 'button' executes a javascript routine that process' the data, sets a cookie, and sends the user to an appropriate page. the set cookie data is as follows: Code: var expire=(new Date(2099, 1, 1)).toGMTString(); document.cookie = "cookie=privg; expires="+expire; window.location = "vip-skincare-online-shopping.html"; so far so good - i can hop about the pages on the website no problem but.... if i return to the home page that contains the original form, the cookie is deleted. This happens immediately i arrive at the page - i don't use the form. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? I don't access the cookie anywhere else on that page, and the only other javascript on the page is google analytics stuff. i create cookies that contain multiple values using Jquery cookie plugin e.g, $.cookie('biz', ['foo', 'bar', 'lact'], {path: '/', expi 7}); from this url http://localhost/categories/educatio...r/universities and use a.remove('foo'); to remove the value after splitting, before removing value i count the number of value and if one remains to delete the cookie 'biz' entirely, even though i could remove the values, one always remains which cannot be remove from this url but only from http://localhost/categories i use .htaccess to rewrite the url, function of remove is : Array.prototype.remove=function(s){ var i = this.indexOf(s); if(i != -1) this.splice(i, 1); } please help Hi and hope someone can help. I'm setting up a fictitious shopping page which uses cookies to remember what a user has selected. The products are photographs that the user can select either framed or unframed versions and I'm trying to put a confirmation box if the user actually requests framed and unframed versions of the same photograph. The code I'm using actually worked before I tried to add this extra functionality but I can't work out how to test for this extra bit. Here's my code and it sets cookies with names as either lulworth01 for the unframed version or lulworth01f for the framed version. The bits that work are in black and my extra code for this test is in red. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rog Code: function getCookie(name) { var index = cart.indexOf(name + "="); if(index == -1) return null; index = cart.indexOf("=", index) +1; var endstr = cart.indexOf(";",index); if (endstr == -1) endstr = cart.length; return unescape(cart.substring(index, endstr)); } function setCookie(name) { if ((name.charAt(name.length-1)='f') && (getCookie(name.substring(0,10))!=null)) { confirm("You seem to have placed orders for both a mounted and framed image of the same photograph.\n\nIs that OK?"); } else { alert("Thank you.\n\nYour basket has been updated."); x=parseInt(getCookie(name)) || 0; y=x+1; var today = new Date(); var expiry = new Date(today.getTime()+28*24*60*60*1000); // plus 28 days document.cookie=name+"="+y+";expires="+expiry.toGMTString(); cart = document.cookie; } } Hello here I'm trying to make my fancybox on exit pop up run only once using cookies but it keeps showing every time i refresh or back the page. (I installed cookies plugin and fancybox plugin). It seems like the cookie isn't getting value, like its null all the time. This is my code maybe you can help me here. Thanks! Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function PopIt() { var COOKIE_NAME = 'cook'; if($.cookie(COOKIE_NAME) != 'active') { $.cookie(COOKIE_NAME, 'active', { expires: 7 }); $("a#trigger").trigger('click'); window.onbeforeunload = UnPopIt; return "Before you leave:\nPlease take a few seconds to answer 2 questions"; } } function UnPopIt() { /* nothing to return */ } $(document).ready(function() { window.onbeforeunload = PopIt; $("a#trigger").fancybox({ 'hideOnContentClick': false, 'showCloseButton': true }); $("a[id!=trigger]").click(function(){ window.onbeforeunload = UnPopIt; }); }); </script> I am trying to prompt user to enter a name into a form, then save it as a cookie and display it in a sentence at the end. Enter - John -> cookie -> Hello John or something like that... Here is the code for 2 functions: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function save_cookie() { var entry=window.prompt("What is your name?", ""); var name="cNam="+entry; var escpd=escape(name); var xDte=";expires=Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:00:00 UTC"; escpd+=xDte; document.cookie=escpd; } function display_cookie() { if (document.cookie) { var rd=document.cookie; var sPlit=rd.split("="); var frst=sPlit[0]; var scnd=sPlit[1]; window.alert=("Welcome"+scnd); } else { save_cookie(); } } save_cookie(); display_cookie(); </script> The code seems to be ok for the most part, but I get something like that when I test it on every line with window.alert cNam%3Djohn; mediaWiki.user.bucket:ext.articleFeedback-tracking=8%3Aignorel mediaWiki.user.bucket:ext.articleFeedback-options=8%3Ashow; wp-settings-time-1=1318110074;wp-settings-1=editor%3Dtinymce The first line is ok, but I am not sure about the remaining ones. Does anybody knows what is it and how to get rid of that? I found this on StackOverflow (it is suppose to clean all cookies for particular domain, but I am not sure if it is working and I would prefer to stick to just two functions that I hace): Code: function deleteAllCookies() { var cookies = document.cookie.split(";"); for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) { var cookie = cookies[i]; var eqPos = cookie.indexOf("="); var name = eqPos > -1 ? cookie.substr(0, eqPos) : cookie; document.cookie = name + "=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"; } } Thank you. PS: The first function works, the second one seems to be splitting everything ok etc, it is just these 3 lines that I need to get rid of and I am not sure what it is too (prompt entry "john", I wanna get to "Welcome john" with functions that I already have) Hi and hope someone can help, I'm reading a book on Javascript and I've been doing their tutorial on getting and setting cookies. Trouble is my code, and their supplied sample, don't work. It is supposed to display a very simple page with an image. When you click the image it is supposed to open up a new (very simple) page. Your help resolving this is greatly appreciated. My thanks, R Code follows...
