Hello all
I'm trying to write cookie for my login page.that knows the user and show welcome in the next pages.i did it befor but it doesn't work now.
in my login page i put this code:

response.cookies("UserInformation")("name")=reques t("txtUser")
in which txtUser is my UserName field in login page.
and in other pages I used response.write that cookie
would you please tell me where is the problem?

Have you tried hard coding it to make sure your form request is setting the cookie properly?

response.cookies("UserInformation")("name")="A User"

response.write request.cookies("UserInformation")("name")

i tried response.cookies("UserInformation")("name")="my name"
and it works.but when i use the form fields it doesn't work?do you know where is the problem?
thank you

Do
response.write request.form("txtUser") &"<-- txtUser"
response.end

What value is returned? I think the info from the form is not being returned to the cookie so the cookie is always blank. Its setting the cookie properly just the cookie always has a value of nothing.

If this is the case you want to confirm that txtUser is in fact the name of the textbox you are using.

You're right.the cookie doesn't get the value of txtUser.i changed my code to this kind but it didn't work:
<script for="txtUser" language="vbScript" event="onkeypress">
response.cookies("UserInformation")("Name")=docume nt.form1.txtUser.Value
</script>
in which form1 is my form name.
can we set the cookie value in this way????
I would be very happy if you help me.
thank you for your replies

will this work? I suspect the code you currently have will not work browsers other than ie the code below will work with all browsers.

--Page1
<form action="page2.asp" method="post">
Name
<input name="txtUser" type="text">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>


--Page2
response.cookies("UserInformation")("name")=reques t("txtUser")
