How to setting a cookie with the contents of a textbox ?

Question

Anonymous User · Answer

Values stored in cookies may not have semicolons, commas, or spaces. You should 
use the handy "escape()" function to encode the values, and "unescape()" to 
retrieve them.
//Sets cookie of current value for myTextBox
function 
TextBoxOnchange() {
var myBox = 
window.document.getElementById(myTextBox");
document.cookie = "myTextBox="+ 
escape(myBox.value) + getExpirationString();
}
//return a string like ";expires=Thu, 5 Jan 2006 16:07:52 
UTC"
function getExpirationString() {
var exp = new Date();
var 
threemonths = 
exp.getTime()+(120*24*60*60*1000);
exp.setTime(threemonths);
return 
";expires="+exp.toGMTString();
}
This is 
called from the event handler in the HTML.
andlt;input name="myTextBox" 
type="text" id="myTextBox"
onchange="javascript:TextBoxOnchange()" /andgt;
