I'm having a problem creating cookies and I wonder if you could perhaps
guide me in the right direction.
I have a website that has a page with a survey on it, on the homepage for
this site I have written some Jscript that checks for a cookie, if this
cookie doesn't exist then it opens up the survey page, on the survey page
once the "submit" or "don't show me this again" button is clicked a cookie
is created so that when the user visits the site again the survey doesn't
show.
This part works fine, my problem lies ahead...
A friends wants his website to work in a similar fashion, he opens up his
homepage and it checks for a cookie, if it doesn't exist then it links to
a similar survey page on MY site, this is because all the details entered
in the survey are stored on a database on my server, this is good too,
except when the cookie is created with a different name, I've noticed that
in my cookies folder on my computer it puts an entry in the file that the
cookie for my site is stored!?
I was under the impression that these files in the cookies folder were
infact the cookies, not entrys for each domain containing cookies. Is this
right or am I on the wrong track?
Because this happens, when my friend goes to his site he will always get
the survey pooping up, which of course he doesn't want
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Al.
