Cookie Redirect

[rn10950]

Hi
I am trying to make a cookie based redirect system. The plan was in a 3 page sequence, the first two pages will check if the cookies exist and if they do they will be relocated (replace) to cookie.htm. If there is not a cookie the person will be allowed to view the page. On the last page the JS engine will write a cookie so that the said person can not do the process again. I tested the system out with these codes and either the cookies were never made or the readers did notread the cookies.

EXPIRATION DATE=2 days or Dec 1st 2012 at noon EST

Reader:

var cname = "vote"
var data ="1";
var cpath = "";
var cdomain = "";

function CheckForCookie()
{
  if( ExistsCookie(cname) )
   {
     window.location.replace("cookie.htm")
   }
}

Writer:

var cname = "vote"
var data ="1";
var cpath = "";
var cdomain = "";
// Checks whether the form should be submitted or not
// If the cookie exists, the form is not submitted
// if no cookie exists, a new cookie, set to expire after
// three months ,is written and the form is submitted
function CheckCookie()
{
  if( !ExistsCookie(cname) )
  {
    // Write a cookie set to expire after 2 days
      now= new Date();  // get current date and time
      expiry = new Date();
	  expiry.setTime((now.getTime() + 2*24*60*60*1000)); // set to 2 days from now
	  WriteCookie(cname,data,expiry,cpath,cdomain); // Write cookie
	  return true;
  }
  alert("You have already submitted this form");
  return false;
}  

//Writes the specified data to the cookie file
function WriteCookie(name,data,expiryDate,path,domain)
{    
  if( name==null || name=="" || data==null || data=="")
  {
     
	 return false;
  }
  
  var Cookie = name + "=" + escape(data)
               + ( (expiryDate)? "; expires=" +
expiryDate.toGMTString() : "" );
               + ((path)? "; path=" + path : "" )
               + ((domain)?"; domain=" + domain : "" );
	  Cookie +=";";
	//Set cookie
   document.cookie = Cookie;
   return true;
}

//Checks if the specified cookie exists or not
function ExistsCookie(name)
 {
  // cookies are separated by semicolons
  var aCookie = document.cookie.split("; ");
  for (var i=0; i < aCookie.length; i++)
  {
    // a name/value pair is separated by an equal sign
    var aCrumb = aCookie[i].split("=");
    if (name == aCrumb[0]) 
      return true;
  }

  // a cookie with the requested name does not exist
  return false;
}

What am I doing wrong? PLEASE help me!

Can you show exactly how you are calling CheckCookie?

Here's a useful line that you can save as a bookmark and execute when debugging cookie code:

javascript:alert("Cookies%20visible%20on%20current%20domain%20and%20path:\n\n"+document.cookie.split(/\;\s*/).join('\n\n'))
