Ok, i have a script but its not working. Its supposed to make it so you can choose your own back and it will save it. Here is the script. Please help.


<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var expDays = 30;
var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime(exp.getTime() + (expDays*24*60*60*1000));
function color(){
var favColor = GetCookie('color');
if (favColor == null) {
favColor = prompt("What is your favorite background color?");
SetCookie('color', favColor, exp);
}
document.bgColor=favColor;
return favColor;
}
function set(){
favColor = prompt("What is your favorite background color?");
SetCookie ('color', favColor, exp);
}
function getCookieVal (offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}
function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}
function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == true) ? "" : ("; path=/comics/crazy" + path)) +
((domain == true) ? "" : ("; domain=www.angelfire.com" + domain)) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}
function DeleteCookie (name) {
var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime (exp.getTime() - 1);
var cval = GetCookie (name);
document.cookie = name + "=" + cval + "; expires=" + exp.toGMTString();
}
// End -->

Change the set cookie function for the one below.

You have set a cookie path and domain which might be the probelm




function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : "; path=" + path) +
((domain == null) ? "" : "; domain=" + domain) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}

It didn't work. This is what I have now.

<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

if (favColor == null) {
favColor = prompt("What is your favorite background color?");
SetCookie('color', favColor, exp);
}
document.bgColor=favColor;
return favColor;
}
function set(){
favColor = prompt("What is your favorite background color?");
SetCookie ('color', favColor, exp);
}
function getCookieVal (offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}
function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}
function SetCookie (name, value) {

I copied the code you posted into a new page and opened it.

When the page opened I got a prompt for a colour, I put in blue.

The background changed to blue.

I closed the page then re-opened the page and the background was still blue.

What else are you wanting it to do?

I want to make it so it changes the backround for my whole page.
