Hello,

I have three different ASP pages which show data result based on the 
password entered. All these three pages have the same password but have 
different data result. I want the user to enter password only once in any of 
these three ASP pages to see the database result. The rest of the two pages 
should automatically cache the password and one will have to just click to 
see the result instead of typing the password itself again and again for 
every page. I had following code in mind but it didn't work:

1) I store the password value in cookie

<% Response.Cookies("password") = Request.Form("Password") %>

I put this line of code in all my three ASP pages. 

2) Then in the Text field of all the three ASP pages, I put code as under:

TextboxName = "PASSWORD" Value = <%=Request.Cookies("password")%>

I thought that when I enter the password for the first time, it is stored in 
Cookie named "password" so it is available to other two pages through 
Request.Cookies("password") code. But it was not so. 
Since the TexboxName Value has ASP code <%=Request.Cookies("password")%>, at 
browser it doesn't show any Value nor the star. If some other way it can 
show this value then user will just have to click on the button to view the 
result and will not have to type the password again. 

Many of the sites allow the user to save password. In that case the Textbox 
shows star (*******) so user just click without typing the password. How do 
I show the value in form of star through 
<%=Request.Cookies("password")%> ? 

The Cookies I want to use are the Session Cookies. 

Can anybody please help?

Best regards,
Rakesh

How are you creating the cookies, it seems like you may have a scope issue 
with the cookies, download something like CookiePal to see if the cookie is 
being set and then check the domain to ensure that it is visible.
