<%
if Request("username") = "" or (CustomersRS.eof and CustomersRS.bof) then
response.redirect "CheckOutFail.asp"
else
if Request.Form("RememberMe") = "check" then
Response.Cookies("username").Expires=Date + 365
Response.Cookies("password").Expires=Date + 365
Response.Cookies("rememberme").Expires=Date + 365
response.cookies("username")=Request("username")
response.cookies("pass")=Request("password")
response.cookies("rememberme")=Request("RememberMe ")
else
Response.Cookies("username").Expires="1/1/80"
Response.Cookies("password").Expires="1/1/80"
Response.Cookies("rememberme").Expires="1/1/80"
end if
strFn=cstr(CustomersRS("firstname"))
Response.Cookies("firstname").Expires=Date + 365
response.cookies("firstname")=ucase(left(strFn,1)) & right(strFn,len(strFn)-1)
response.cookies("Products")("CustomerID")=Custome rsRS("CustomerID")
response.redirect "index.asp"
end if
%>

Hi there,

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Your question is not as straight forward as the problem ;)

Anyway, the Response.Write statement you showed should work. Are you sure you correctly saved the cookie in the first place?

Is RememberMe a check box? Is its value attribute "check"> Otherwise, the code that sets the name won't run.
Did you check your cookies file on disk to see if the cookies are actually written?

And what about the "log out" feature? What are you trying to accomplish?

Cheers,

Imar

i know about cookies.expires =date -1 but i dont really no how to apply it meaning after user log in,their username will be display and when they want to log out they will clik at "log out" so where do i need to place that expired code and how should i write it with proper sintax?

You could have the Logout link to Logout.asp.
On that page, set the Expires property of the cookie to a date in the past (-1 may not be enough, use a date further in the past) and then redirect to your homepage, for example.

<%
  Response.Cookies("username").Expires = Date() - 365
  Response.Redirect("/Default.asp")
%>

Cheers,

Imar
