 cookie not working - help needed!
I need help with the script below.
If the cookie is set, a message should say so. If not, a message will say so and then set the cookie and it's value.
for some reason this does NOT work:
Code:
<% Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = true
Dim expDate, aspPoll
aspPoll = "aspPoll"
expDate = "2001-05-09 21:42" ' for this version this is static, it will be dynamic in the near future
Response.write("------------------------<BR>")
Response.write("ExpireDate: "& expDate &"<BR>")
Response.write("TodayDate: "& now)
Response.write("<BR>------------------------<BR><BR>")
Response.write(Request.Cookies(aspPoll) &"<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>")
IF (Request.Cookies(aspPoll) <> "") THEN
Response.write("the cookie is set and running!<BR>"&_
"Cookie Value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll))
ELSEIF (Request.Cookies(aspPoll)="") THEN
Response.write("This cookie is not set yet...<BR>")
Response.write("<B> Creating cookie....</B><BR>")
Response.Cookies(aspPoll).Expires = CDate(expDate)
Response.Cookies(aspPoll).Domain = ".Caffeine"
Response.Cookies(aspPoll).Path = "/"
Response.Cookies(aspPoll) = "someText"
Response.write("reload the page and this cookie will be set!!!<BR>")
Response.write("Cookie value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll) &"<BR><BR>")
ELSE
Response.write("some other text here...")
END IF
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
</BODY>
</HTML>
I really appreciate any help since this is the last thing missing in my poll-system.
thanks,
David

Good Ol' Platypus
Are you sure that you set it correctly? Show us your setting code.

(Just a heads-up)

Try the following code.
It works fine for me
<% Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = true
Dim expDate, aspPoll
aspPoll = "aspPoll"
expDate = "2001-05-11 21:42" ' for this version this is static, it will be dynamic in the near future
Response.write("------------------------<BR>")
Response.write("ExpireDate: "& expDate &"<BR>")
Response.write("TodayDate: "& now)
Response.write("<BR>------------------------<BR><BR>")
Response.write(Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main") &"<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>")
IF (Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main") <> "") THEN
Response.write("the cookie is set and running!<BR>"&_
"Cookie Value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main"))
ELSEIF (Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main")="") THEN
Response.write("This cookie is not set yet...<BR>")
Response.write("<B> Creating cookie....</B><BR>")
Response.Cookies(aspPoll).Expires = CDate(expDate)
Response.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main") = "sometext"
Response.Cookies(aspPoll)("Domain") = ".Caffeine"
Response.Cookies(aspPoll)("Path") = "/"
Response.write("reload the page and this cookie will be set!!!<BR>")
Response.write("Cookie value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Main") &"<BR><BR>")
Response.write("Domain value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Domain") &"<BR><BR>")
Response.write("Path value: "& Request.Cookies(aspPoll)("Path") &"<BR><BR>")
ELSE
Response.write("some other text here...")
END IF
%>

thanks a lot mentor22!
it works excellent now, but Im not sure where I did wrong.
Is it that I did not use this syntax: Response.Cookies("cookieName")("subItem") ??
if not, can you(or anybody) tell me where my code was incorrect ?
I don't just want to have the code working, I also want to understand it 
thanks again,
David
