Hi all,

I am having problems getting the following script to work. I think the problems is in the way that i am passing the variable v1 to the

line:

SetCookie (v1.name, v1.value, expdate);

by:

var v1 = eval(document.form1.v1.value)

Also could someone please point me in the direction of a document that explains how cookies work (line by line??)

your help would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance...

Dom
