hi all, i wrote a code to store the user's username as a cookie so as he need not key in his username in his next log in. but yet, my system is unable to record it as a cookie. can anyone help? thanks.

this is the code where i try retrieve his cookie username in his textbox for keying in his username

ths is the code for him to check the checkbox to save his username as a cookie

<input type="checkbox" name="Savelogin" >Save Login as a cookie?

Next, the form will be submitted to another page for processing

if (confirm('Press OK to proceed, otherwise Cancel to go back')){document.confirmUser.method = 'post';

document.confirmUser.action='loginConfirm.asp';

document.confirmUser.submit();}

this is the code in the next page"loginConfirm.asp"

dim strEmail

if request.queryString("cookie")=1 then

strEmail=request.cookies("savelogin")("Name")

else

strEmail=request.form("name")

end if

'name of cookie is Savelogin

Dim cookieSaved

if request.form("Savelogin")="on" then

response.cookies("Savedlogin")("Name")=request.form("name")

response.cookies("Savedlogin").Expires=Date+3

cookieSaved=True

else

cookieSaved=False

end if

Change
<input type="text" name="Name" size="20" maxlength="15" value="<%=Request.Cookies("Savelogin")%>" >
to
<input type="text" name="Name" size="20" maxlength="15" value="<%=Request.Cookies("Savelogin")("name")%>" >
