    Problem with prompt box....

    I have this code:


    PHP Code:
    ffunction getName(nm) {
          userName = nm;
          msg.close();
          now = new Date();
          exp = new Date(Date.parse(now) + (86400000*365));
          SetCookie("userName", userName, exp);
          window.location.reload();
    }

    function     askUserName() {
          msg = window.open("","msg","top=500,left=500,height=100,width=300,dependent=yes,resizable=yes");
          msg.focus();
          msg.document.writeln("<body onLoad='document.f1.nm.focus()'>");
          msg.document.writeln("<form name='f1' onSubmit='window.opener.getName(this.nm.value);return false'>");
          msg.document.writeln("<table>");
          msg.document.writeln("<tr>");
          msg.document.writeln("<td>Please enter your name: </td>");
          msg.document.writeln("<td><input name='nm' type='text'></td>");
          msg.document.writeln("</tr>");
          msg.document.writeln("<tr>");
          msg.document.writeln("<td>&nbsp;</td>");
          msg.document.writeln("<td><input type='submit' onsubmit='id()' value=' Submit '></td>");
          msg.document.writeln("</tr>");
          msg.document.writeln("</table>");
          msg.document.writeln("</body>");
          msg.document.close();
      return     false;
    }

    function     getCookieVal(offset) {
      var     endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
      if (    endstr == -1)
            endstr = document.cookie.length;
      return     unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
    }

    function     SetCookie(name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) {
          document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
        ((    expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
        ((    path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
        ((    domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
        ((    secure) ? "; secure" : "");
    }

    function     GetCookie(name) {
      var     arg = name + "=";
      var     alen = arg.length;
      var     clen = document.cookie.length;
      var     i = 0;
      while (    i < clen) {
        var     j = i + alen;
        if (    document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
          return     getCookieVal(j);
            i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
        if (    i == 0) break; 
      }
      return     null;
    }

    userName = GetCookie("userName");
    if (!    userName) 
      {    askUserName();}

    function     checkUser() {
      if (    document.getElementById)
        {if (    userName) document.getElementById("empinfo").style.visibility = "visible";}
      else {
        if (    document.layers)
          {if (    userName) document.empinfo.visibility = "visible";}
        else
          {if (    userName) document.all.empinfo.style.visibility = "visible";}
      }
    }

    function     id(){
        
        
             document.forms.empinfo.emplname.value = askUserName();
                    
    } 
    It has a pop up that asks for a user name, then sets that name as a cookie. That part works.

    I am trying to get it to pass that information to the main form,
    "empinfo", then to an input box, "emplname".


    but it doesn't seem to work.

    I have this function:

    PHP Code:
    function id(){
                 document.forms.empinfo.emplname.value = userName();
                    
    } 
    which I was hoping would do the trick. but it isn't working.

    can anyone help me ???

    Thanks for your help....

    I'm a little confused. You point to two different functions name "id" -- which one is correct, or do actually have both with the same name?

    Also, in your 2nd code snippet, you call userName as a function, when you have no function with the name (but, it is a variable)

      huh?

      So your trying to use cookies to remember a username and password for the form, then when the browser reloads, the username and password will be stored in the cookies, therefore automaticly logged in...? I have no idea...

        this is what I was suppose to have:


        PHP Code:
        function id(){
            
            
                     document.forms[empinfo].emplname.value = userName;
                        
        } 
        Yes, that is right, the first id is set here:
        PHP Code:
        msg.document.writeln("<form name='f1' onSubmit='window.opener.getName(this.nm.value);return false'>"); 

        That form name is for the pop up window asking for the users Name.

        that name is set in the cookie: userName.

        I am trying to get that passed to another form.


        the id for that form is:

        empinfo

        and I have the input box that I want it to be passed to label as:

        emplname.


        Does this help any ????
