Hi

I am retrieving the value of a cookie and want to display a different html page depending on the value of that cookie....

var checkvalue = get_Cookie('navigation')
if (checkvalue == "advanced")
document.write("you selected advanced.")

else if (checkvalue == "simple")
document.write("you selected simple.")

This works but I want all the html tags ie <HTML><BODY> etc not just a one liner so I can contruct either of two pages from this one page of code

NB: I dont want the code to direct to a different HTML page since I want this file to be an include page.

Hope that makes sense.

Daniel

Use SSI  instead of you selected advanced and  instead of you selected simple.

BTW, you will need SSIs to do this, if you don't have them.... I don't know what to tell you. :D

Well, I'd suggest redirection based on the value of the cookie, but since that's not an option you'd need to build the page with javascript based on checkvalue.

if(checkvalue=="advanced")
build advanced page here

else if(checkvalue=="simple")
build simple page here

In cases where the code is exactly the same, then there's no need to document.write it twice.

example:

document.write('<html><head>'); // not repeated

if(checkvalue=="advanced")
document.write('<title>Advanced Section</title>');
else
document.write('<title>Simple Section</title>');
document.write('</head>'); // not repeated
