Help Me With Cookies, HTML and IE8
For complex reasons, I have to use HTML with JavaScript to set a cookie. I know it is easy to set and get cookies PHP but I have to put the code in HTML.
I have searched the internet for some examples and I ran a test based on an example. I ran this Javascript code:
I tested this code by placing alert statements and I nkow that the line:
gets run.
I tried to find this cookie (Tools -> Internet Options -> Browsing History ->Settings) And I did not find anything named "specialcookiehuge" in "View Objects" or "View Files".
I guess I could try other browsers, but it would be good to know what I am doing wrong. I do not know if I am really setting a cookie. Is there some additional javascript command I am missing? Or, is the cookie being set but I am not looking in the right place according to the tutorials I saw online?
