[SOLVED] help getting value from a cookie

[meomike2000]

as i am still very new with working with ajax and js.... i need some help getting the value of a cookie......

 

this is all just for learning by the way....

 

the cookie is set when a php script validates a user,

if ($loginId == 'mike' && $password == 'mike11') {
//setcookie('userID', 12345);
setcookie("user", $loginId, mktime()+1209600);
$respType = 'success';
$respMsg = 'userhome.html';
}else{

 

i know this part works!

 

here is the ajax part....

look to  this.init = function()  @@@  self.user = document.cookie.value; ...

how should this be.....

 

var user = new function() {
this.ajax = null;
this.user = '';

this.init = function() {
	var self = user;
	self.user = document.cookie.value; 
	self.ajax = new Ajax();
	self.getinfo();
};

this.getinfo = function() {
	var self = user;
	self.ajax.doGet('/ajaxtest/getuser.php?user=' + self.user, self.setresult);	
};

this.setresult = function(str) {
	var self = user;
	var respArr = str.split(',');
	var name = respArr[0];
	var number = respArr[1];
	var userSpan = document.getElementById('userSpan');
	var userDiv = document.getElementById('userDiv');
	if (userSpan.firstChild) {
		userSpan.removeChild(userSpan.firstChild);
	}
	if (userDiv.firstChild) {
		userDiv.removeChild(userDiv.firstChild);
	}
	userSpan.appendChild(document.createTextNode(number));
	userDiv.appendChild(document.createTextNode(name));	
};

this.clearCookie = function(name) {
	var expireDate = new Date(0);
	document.cookie = name + '=; expires=' + expireDate.toGMTString() + '; path=/';
};

this.cleanup = function() {
	var self = user;
	self.ajax = null;
	self.user = null;
	self.clearCookie(user);
};

};

window.onload = user.init;
window.onunload = user.cleanup;

 

thanks mike.....

ok i got it worked out...

 

this is the change that i made:

change in this.init      self.user = self.getCookie('user');

then added the getcookie function.......

and now all is working well.......

 

        this.init = function() {
	var self = user;
	self.user = self.getcookie('user'); 
	self.ajax = new Ajax();
	self.getinfo();
};

this.getcookie = function(c_name) {
	var self = user;
	if (document.cookie.length>0)
	  {
	  c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
	  if (c_start!=-1)
	    {
	    c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
	    c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
	    if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
	    return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
	    }
	  }
	return "";
}
