I have a form with a name textbox and users complete this form maybe 20+ times a day. after they enter their name once I want the value to auto-populate everytime they return to the form. I tried with the below code for cookies, but for some reason it is not working. PLEASE HELP!!!! My code is below....


<%
'set's the cookie value to textbox value
Response.cookies("name")= Request.form("name")
%>

<%
'set the expire date
Response.cookies("name").expires = date + 365
%>

'html textbox with value
<input name="name" type="text" value="<%=(Request.cookies("name"))%>">



THANKS!!!!!!

Please try the following:

<%
'set's the cookie value to textbox value
if Request.form("name") <> "" then
    Response.cookies("name")= Request.form("name")
    'set the expire date
    Response.cookies("name").expires = date + 365
end if
%>

Hope this helps

No, it is not giving an error message. I deleted all my cookies and tested the form. It will not write or read the cookie

No, Om Prakash that did not work either.

thanks for all your help...Any other ideas.

I tried the code and it stores and displays the cookie.
I hope Cookies are enabled from where u are checking.

This is what i done:
Enter some text in text box, and submit. Close the browser and open again, and i got the cookie which was set earlier.

For some reason it is not happening for me. I ran a script to check if cookies are enabled and they are. And they work on my machine for other websites. Can you possibly post your code so I can compare.

thanks for all your help......

This is the code which i checked:

<form name='formaa' method='post' ID="Form1">
<br><br><input name="name" type="text" value="<%=(Request.cookies("name"))%>" ID="Text2">
<br><input type=submit>
</form>
<%
'set's the cookie value to textbox value
if Request.form("name") <> "" then
    Response.cookies("name")= Request.form("name")
    'set the expire date
    Response.cookies("name").expires = date + 365
end if
%>
