???Javascript, ASP, Cookies

[coolmike]

I am developing a web based music inventory system. I need the capability to create music lists. currently I am using ASP to display the music from the database into an HTML Table. In the last column(<td>) of the table I have a anchor tag called &quot;Add to List&quot;. I would like to store the information that is in the current row into a cookie when the user clicks the &quot;Add to List&quot; anchor. The problem is that I don't know how to get the information for the current row to store it in a cookie. Any Suggestions?

do you have a way to know/control whch browser your users are going to use ??
if you are sure they'll use ie 4+, then an easy way to access the value of a table row is :
1- name your table row
<td id=&quot;my_id&quot;>ok this is the content of the td</td>
2- refer to it as : document.all.my_id.innerHTML -> this will return &quot;ok this is the content of the td&quot;

How are you determining the current row? If you are only going to have text in the cell, use innerText, its faster. jared@aauser.com
