The cookie functions follow. You would save the text as follows:
var str = document.myFormName.myTextboxName.value;
var expDate = new Date();
expDate.setFullYear(expDate.getFullYear()+1);
setCookie("myCookie", str, expDate, "/");
You would retrieve the text as follows:
var str = getCookie("myCookie");
if (str) {
document.myFormName.myTextboxName.value = str;
} else {
document.myFormName.myTextboxName.value = "";
}
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 getCookieVal(offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}
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" : "");
}
function delCookie(name) {
exp = new Date();
exp.setTime(exp.getTime() - (24*60*60*1000));
var cval = getCookie(name);
cval = (cval == null) ? "" : cval;
document.cookie = name + "=" + cval + "; expires=" + exp.toGMTString();
}
