Manipulation Cookies in Java Script

Anonymous User9193 13-Mar-2011

A Cookie is nothing but a small text file that’s stored in your browser. It contains some data such as:

  •    A name value pair containing the actual data.
  •    An expiry date after which it is no longer valid.
  • .  The domain and path of the server it should be sent to.

We can use Cookie:

  •  State Maintenance/Persistence across different pages of the site, for Http is a   state less protocol which means after sending any web page server forget which page he sent.
  •  To allow user-side customization of web information, to serve a personalized site.

In this demonstration we learn how to create cookie, delete cookie and read cookie.

Creating cookie
function createCookie() {
            var date = new Date();
            var days = 1;
            date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
            document.cookie = "ck1" + "Hello Dear" + date.toGMTString();
            document.write("Cookie created successfully.");
}
Reading Cookie
function readCookie() {
            var cookName = "ck1" + "=";
            var ca = document.cookie.split(";");
            for (var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
                var c = ca[i];
                while (c.charAt(0) == ' ')
                    c = c.subString(1, c.length);
                if (c.indexOf(cookName) == 0)
                    document.write(c.subString(cookName.length , c.length);
            }
}
