Does the cookie appear in your browser's cookie list? Each browser provides access to the list a little differently. For Firefox you would need to go to Options > Privacy > Show Cookies. Make sure that the server name in the URL used to access the page with the Javascript code is identical with the server name in the URL used to access the page that reads the cookie. The string must be identical (even in terms of capitalization).

Hi,

Ok, I'm probably being stupid, but... I'm trying to pass cookie values between web pages. On each page I have a pull down <select> that when changed I want to set the value chosen to a cookie. Easy to do as I have a javascript that sets the cookie with a call from the <option>s onChange() property.  The viewer then makes a choice or two from a menu and proceeds to the next page.

Setting the cookie appears to be working as I can, from that page, call another javascript to go get the cookie and display the value.

The next page being called is generated from a FWX, and within that script I cannot get the request.getcookie() to come back with the value stored by the javascript on the previous page. When I cause the new FWX to fail, and look at the error information the HTTP_COOKIE value doesn't contain the cookie set by the java script. m.COOKIEVALUE = request.getcookie("name") comes back empty.

When creating the cookie I'm setting the domain to "/" and the expire to 5 days from now. Nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated! I seem to be just spinning my wheels...

Thanks!
