cookie question

[sqoti]

I am new to using cookies and have a scenario I wanted to throw out here on Tek-tips to see if I can get a bite.

I want to have a form submit that captures the value entered and save it into a cookie----easy

Then I want to have a separate window or browser be able to get that cookie and use it the way it wants--don't know how?

Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,

sqoti

Either of these approaches will do the job. Simpy use a function to write the cookie containing your value on the first page. Then one to read the cookie on subsequent pages. You can read the cookie value directly into a javascript variable so instead of:

var username = 'Fred';

you can use:

var username = readCookie('Username');
