[RESOLVED] Javascript read cookie

[seanwpb]

i have this js file that i use as part of a drop down menu.

var anylinkmenu1={divclass:'anylinkmenu', inlinestyle:'', linktarget:''} 

anylinkmenu1.items=[
	["Home", "../index.php"], 
	["Logout", "../process.php"]//no comma following last entry!
]


]

what i want to do is read a cookie that already exist called siteid then append the menu caption "Home" with the value in the cookie. i have tried starting the file with this
var siteid = get_cookie ( "siteid" );

then placing the siteid variable in the ["Home", "../index.php"],
but with no luck.

I got it to work. what i did was to add this at the start of the file to read the cookie and remove any + signs

function cookie_read(c_name) 
{ 
var comp = c_name + "="; 
var cooks = document.cookie.split(';'); 
for(var i=0;i < cooks.length;i++) 
{ 
var check = cooks[i]; 
while (check.charAt(0) == " ") 
check = check.substring(1,check.length);
if (check.indexOf(comp) == 0) 
return check.substring(comp.length,check.length); 
} 
return null; 
} 

UnitChangedTo = cookie_read('UnitChangedTo')
UnitChangedTo = UnitChangedTo.replace("+"," ");

then in the menu code

[UnitChangedTo, "../GetUnitNumber.php"],

This is the Java forum not the JavaScript forum, they are two completely different languages - a common mistake.
