Cookie Problems For Retaining
I have several users data elements that I want to maintain and persist. I've created a cookie with keys to do this, but having problems with it persisting.
1. Do you set the .Expires at the Cookie level or at the Key level?
2. Once you set the .Expires, do you need to reset it, if you then change
one of the Key values?
3. If 2 = Yes, then I'd like to have a common routine that set's the expires property in an include file. I've tried this, but I keep getting the "Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Response.Cookie'" error.

Am using the function
Code:
window.history.go(-1);
to re-direct users back to the form they submit when certain conditions are not met.
The test works fine, but all user inputs disappear when the function re-directs them back to the form. What can i use to make the form inputs still be available to users when they are re-directed by the function.

I have developed a web page using vbscript for calculations (similar to an invoice). I would like to save the values entered into the fields when the user would like to save the information to update at a later time. Is there a simple code that will allow me to do this? I would like to do this without using a link to a database, this page is being run by a client, not thru a server.

I have a form that I am trying to append to include a CAPTCHA validation field.
I have added the CAPTCHA code to the end of the form itself and now I am struggling to make the processor do a couple of things:
***If the CAPTCHA validates as well as all the form input data>>confirmation page and send appropriate email.
***If the form is filled out, but the CAPTCHA authentication is wrong>>go back to the same page, keep the form filled out, and give one more chance to correctly enter the CAPTCHA field.
***If the form is being spammed.......fail and die gracefully.
Here is the processor code thus far: Code:

I have created a asp page "AddUsers.asp" which allows the admin to create new user ids.The admin fills in all relevant details and clicks on submit.The form gets posted to a page "Insertusers.asp" which checks if the new entered userid already exists in a database.
If the userid already exists, page display a message saying "Userid already exists" and a back button(link to Addusers.asp).When the admin clicks on back button, it takes him to Addusers.asp and all the relevant details entered in a form are lost.Again he has to fill in all the details which i want to avoid.How can i retain the values entered in the form so that the admin can change only the userid and submit the form again?

I have search capability in the web site that I'm working on. I submit my search criteria, and using the post method, displays my results on a results page. Now here is the problem: If I click on a link within the results, and opt to go back to the results page, my page has expired as it needs to request those objects.
I used for the search criteria again to repost and display the results. Is there an easy way around this so that when I hit the back button it can just redisplay the results with the criteria I've already used to query?

I have a form where users enter informaiton including a zip code. I was hoping that after they submit their info I could retain that zip code for the next page. The end result would be to have a page with a link that says "Click here for directions to our event!" and have the link go to mapquest directions from their zip code to mine.
Looking at Mapquest's URLs it seems they come in a very standard format that one could easily plug two zip codes into the url and have directions from place to place.The users do not have to log in to enter data into the form (my Google-ing has turned up stuff on session variables, but that seems to require log-ins).
I am gonna play around with this for a while, but if anyone has any pointers or links that could get me going in the right direction.

When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if
I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is
still set, and I can get it on other pages.
I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why
does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart
event even when I have "block all cookies" set?

I want to know what's the differences between session cookie and regular cookie.
In ASP, when we create cookie, we do the following to identify an user:
Response.Cookies("name") = value
Is this regular cookie? How about session cookie? and when to use which?

The problem is that the code for "change_school.asp" takes the user right to "portal.asp". I checked the code of "change_school.asp" and it does indeed set a cookie value for "school", but for some reason "default.asp" is still finding the old cookie stored and then redirecting...any ideas guys?
'code for change_school.asp...clears the cookie "school" and redirects to page (default.asp) where user can select a new school
<% Response.Cookies("school")= ""
Response.Redirect "default.asp" %>
'code for default.asp which allows user to select a new school, and if the cookie "school" has some value then they are redirected.
<%
If request.cookies("school") <> "" then
Response.Redirect "portal.asp"
end if
%>

On this website i am building it has password protection on certain pages. So i have a "login" portion on the right side of the page, that is shown on every page. When someone logs in is it possible to change that little section to just say Welcome so and so? Instead of having the username and password form with submit button?? Or is this something that requires some java to hide it?
Part II
When someone logs in i want them to recieve a cookie, in that cookie i want it to contain the person's name (wich i want the to be put next to the "welcome back on part I), email address, and up to four other numerical values. (some people will have greater access to sections of the site depending on who they are)
Is is possible to grab this information from the SQL database and put in the cookie? If so can anyone please show me, point me in right direction, ect?

I'm using FrontPage Database results wizards to retrieve data from Access. I have a cookie containing a number I'd like to insert in a custom query. Whenever the page opens, I want the query to run using the value in the cookie. I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the cookie value into something the FP webbot will accept in the query.

I’m a little worried, do you know how spiders work with regards to this sort of thing? My site gets some traffic due to it being spidered by the likes of google and I don’t want to loose that flow.
If I use this at the entry point of my site to redirect browsers with cookies turned off to a page telling them to turn them on will that stop the spiders?

I have a problem with a Cookie in an ASP page. Without any apparent reason, one of the Cookies disappears, but the others are ok.
I'm at Page1, a link goes to Page2. Page2 redirects to Page3 and Page3 redirects to Page1. When I'm back to Page1, sometime, one of the cookies don't exist anymore... But the others are there! The disappeared Cookie isn't always the same, in the 18 Cookies that I have.
The environment is composed of 4 clustered servers. Page1 is SSL, but not Page2 and Page3.
I don't have more than 4KB (1.86KB to be more precise) of data and I don't have more that 20 Cookies on the same domain.
I added the following code:

I want to retrieve the value of a cookie to make a form a little more user friendly (our intranet is configured to set a cookie for User First Name, Last Name and Email when they log in)
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to retrieve the value of the cookie. I've been trying:
<%
Response.write Request.Cookies(UserLName)
%>
But it gives me an error - I used Checky to make sure the cookies are there and they do exist:
Name:mascot
Value: UserLName=Tarby
Can someone give me some advice?

How can I remove a cookie from the client in ASP? I'm not talking about setting the value to a blank string and I've tried this:
[vbs]
Response.Cookies("mycookie").Expires = Now()
[/vbs]
and
[vbs]
Response.Cookies("mycookie").Expires = Date() - 100
[/vbs]
Neither of which work.
Is there any way to completley remove the cookie?

I need to revisit cookie testing. On the home page and every product page I
write a cookie. I do this because some users enter by direct links to
product pages.
<%
Response.Cookies("cookietest") = ("49")
Response.Cookies("cookietest").Expires = Date + 2

On the cart page I test for the cookie...
<%
If Request.Cookies("cookietest") <"49" Then
Response.Redirect("err.asp?e=1")
End If

I have a user that insists he has cookies enabled, yet he keeps getting
redirected to my error page which suggests he does not have cookies enabled.
What could cause this? Is the above too simple for all circumstances?
Is there more extensive code that I could setup on a hidden page where I can
send users to get read out on how they actually have their browsers setup?
i.e. Run a test on their browser and the results are emailed to me.

I have an asp page where i created cookies-for admin and for user. The aspx page reads these cookies. Everything seems to work fine but now i have to create a new cookie if cookie has expired or if cookie is null. Also, i am having problems with the expire because if the username belongs to the admin for example and then i want to change
the username that belongs to a normal user the cookie recognises the first (admin) cookie. How do i solve this? .....

I have created a page where i got sth like this:
if (request.cookies("example") <> ""
response.redirect("login.asp")
response.end
end if
(I will try to explain as easy i can), so in the login.asp using a .mdb i get the username and check with the password, and putting the username in the cookie in this case called example, but using some cookie poisoning i can be anybody logged in, even sb out of the table of users, i didn't use the session object, i wanted to use a cookie because i got curiosity and i didn't understand what is the difference, and actually i don't understand so much...anyways i got 2 questions, how i do sth for protect the cookie for cookie poisoning and what is the difference between the session and the cookie (from the little what i know is that the session is a predefined cookie that has some encrypting stuff and that so on and got some properties, methods right? and the cookie is just a information holder without any extra stuff as the session object has, am i right?)

I have created code to create a cookie about a user when their login and when they tick a remember me box.
The problem is though the the data in the cookie is stored in plain text. Which means I can use firefox and it webdeveloper tool to look at the cookie and change the values.
My question is how do you encrpyt a cookie so it doesnt store the info in plain text?

I use the following simple code in an asp to test how cookies work ...
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Cookies("CookieTest")="Lovely Cookie !"
Response.Cookies("CookieTest").Expires=DateAdd("n",5,Now())
%>
<HTML><BODY>The cookie has arrived !</BODY></HTML>
I've set my IE6.0 to prompt me for all cookies, which it does for all web pages I visit,
but not for the above asp page which is hosted from IIS5.1 on my PC. I can see the cookie being created in my Cookies folder, but would like to be prompted first!

I''m having a problem with cookies that is driving me insane :).
- If a user comes to http://domain.com and a cookie is set for them, then the user for whatever reason jumps to http://www.domain.com one of the 2 happens:
1) The cookie we set can not be read (expected), but then a new one can not be written ether (I looked at the server headers and although the cookie information is sent, IE ignores it).
2) The cookie from http://domain.com can be read, but you can not write to this cookie. Same here cookie is sent back from the server but IE ignores it.
Now, if its the other way around. If a user comes to http://www.domain.com, a cookie is set, then he/she jumps to http://domain.com:
The cookie can not be read (expected), but a new one can be written (as it should be).
So after driving my self insane, i whent out and tried it out in other servers to see if it was true. I tried 4 different sites which used cookies (for shopping carts). I did the same tests, (Go in via domain.com, add something to cart, then, jump to www.domain.com, cookie would not be overwritten. Then did the other way around, everything worked fine.)

I have always used this in ASP to test if the client is accepting cookies:
<%@language="VBScript"%>
<%
Session ("nc") = 1
If Len(Session("nc")) = 0 Then
'Cookies Off
Else
'Cookies On
End If
%>
But I only ever tested it in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 though not sure. Anyway with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 Len(Session("nc")) <> 0 always whether cookies are on or off. Can anyone suggest a better cookie test that will work in most browsers?
