Introduction:
We Can do the following three functionalities using cookies,
1.Retrieving the value of a cookie according to its name
2.Setting a cookie to a desired attribute
3.Deleting a cookie
Main:
For Setting Values in cookie,
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure)
{
var curCookie = name + “=” + escape(value) +
((expires) ? “; expires=” + expires.toGMTString() : “”) +
((path) ? “; path=” + path : “”) +
((domain) ? “; domain=” + domain : “”) +
((secure) ? “; secure” : “”)
if (!caution || (name + “=” + escape(value)).length <= 4000)
document.cookie = curCookie
else
if (confirm(“Cookie exceeds 1KB and will be cut!”))
document.cookie = curCookie
}
For Retrieving a values in cookie,
function getCookie(name)
{
var prefix = name + “=”
var cookieStartIndex = document.cookie.indexOf(prefix)
if (cookieStartIndex == ?1)
return null
var cookieEndIndex = document.cookie.indexOf(“;”, cookieStartIndex +
prefix.length)
if (cookieEndIndex == ?1)
cookieEndIndex = document.cookie.length
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(cookieStartIndex +
prefix.length, cookieEndIndex))
}
For Deleting Cookie,
function deleteCookie(name, path, domain)
{
if (getCookie(name))
{
document.cookie = name + “=” +
((path) ? “; path=” + path : “”) +
((domain) ? “; domain=” + domain : “”) +
“; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT”
}
}
Conclusion:
Hope,this helps,
Happy Coding.
