FireDrake Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwest Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 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>"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
