    Question Cookie help

    Hey

    I have a text box, in which a user enters his/her name. How can I set it so that it 'saves' the users name via a cookie, and then recalls it into the same text box, next time the user visits the page?


    Thanks for your help

    var username=document.getElementById("username").value;
    var the_date=new Date("December 31, 2023");
    the_date.toGMTString();
    document.cookie="myCookie="+escape(username);+";expires="+the_date;
