Cookies, directories and Javascript

[doodler]

ok, i have a page where the user chooses a personal id and the theme for my site: http://www.psn-online.net/setup

It stores the information by cookies. This information is then retrieved in other pages using a getcookie function e.g. getcookie('lala')

The script to get the cookie as well as to set it is at http://psn-online.net/scripts/03.js

Because the cookie is set at the 'setup' folder on my site, the page in the root directory which i want to retrieve the cookie will not work OR RETURN ERRORS!?? Can somebody help me with this?

You may find these links useful:
http://www.psn-online.net/home.php = page where cookie doesnt work

http://www.psn-online.net/setup = sets the cookie

http://www.psn-online.net/setup/home.php = cookie works!?

I read in a thread somewhere that you have a debugger (MS Script degugger or something similar). Could you tell me which? It would help me alot. Thanx.

Using the function I posted, you would do it as follows:

setCookie("cookieName", cookieValue, expDateObject, "/");

That last argument is the kicker.

Sorry I don't understand. So what would be the complete code to get and set the cookie?
P.S i think i have that debugger!

[doodler]

setcookie('mycookie', 'myvalue', 365);
=
setcookie(name, value, duration)

i take it that this script is cross-browser compatible?

[doodler]

Thanks a lot.

Its not working!

setCookie(cookieName, cookieValue, expDate, "/"); = this isnt right, its not in the script!!!!! I'm totally confused now.

[doodler]

the whole thing didnt work because i didnt know how to use the function and the stuff u sed wasnt in the script like path and domain

[doodler]

i dont have the script. can u post it again with all the amendments.
