how can i set a cookie with a simple hyperlink and reload() function, without a popup message saying confirm .

 

eg. user clicks a hyperlink and automatically the page gets reloaded and cookie set - no popup message

 

An example of the cookie script i have now - popup version:

 

<a href="javascript: set_cookie('customize', 'on');"><script>function set_cookie(object, value) { if (value == 'off') {	var message = 'off' }	else { var message = 'on'
} if(confirm(message)) { var expireDate  = new Date()
var expstring   = expireDate.setDate(expireDate.getDate() + 500)
document.cookie = object+'='+value+'; expires='+expireDate.toGMTString()+'; path=/';
window.location.reload() } }</script>Dont show this message again</a>

Your code should be less hard to read if you add some structure:

 

<!-- JavaScript should be in the header -->

<head>
<script type="text/language">
function set_cookie(object, value) { 
    if (value == 'off') {   
        var message = 'off';
    }
   
    else { 
        var message = 'on';
    } 

    if(confirm(message)) { 
        var expireDate  = new Date();
        var expstring   = expireDate.setDate(expireDate.getDate() + 500);
        document.cookie = object + '=' + value + '; expires = ' + expireDate.toGMTString() + '; path=/';
        window.location.reload();
    } 
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="set_cookie('customize', 'on')">Dont show this message again</a>
</body>

im trying to set up this simple cookie script but its a bit buggy - can anyone improve this?

 

<head><script>function set_cookie(object, value) { if (value == 'off') {	var message = 'off' }	else { var message = 'on'
} if(confirm(message)) { var expireDate  = new Date()
var expstring   = expireDate.setDate(expireDate.getDate() + 500)
document.cookie = object+'='+value+'; expires='+expireDate.toGMTString()+'; path=/';
window.location.reload() } }</script></head>
<?php 
if (isset($_COOKIE['customize'])) 
echo "";
else
echo "";
if  ($_COOKIE['customize'] == 'off') 
echo "<a href=\"javascript: set_cookie('customize', 'on');\">turn on message</a>";

else
echo "<a href=\"javascript: set_cookie('customize', 'off');\">turn off message</a>";
?>
