possible to pass cookie value from VB to ASP?

[Carl]

Hi,

I want to pass the value of the cookie created in VB to ASP. This doesn't
work. Any idea?
Thanks
Carl
....
<script language=vbscript>
document.cookie="mycookie" ' also tried with
document.cookie="name=mycookie"
</script>

<%
z=request.cookies("mycookie")
response.write(z)
%>
....

See :
http://home.att.net/~codeLibrary/HTML/form2.htm and the "Night of the Living
Cookie" script.

The cookie property contains actuzally all the cookies. It's probably best
to have some functions (such as those exposed by the above script) to hanlde
cookies client side (FYI clients-side unless in a controlled environment,
JvaScript is generally preferred over VBScript)...

This one looks like a good starting point to get an understanding of the
cookie mechanism :

Of course instead of "name" you have to use the actual name of your cookie.
Also a cookie has a value.

Thanks, but my problem is not to pass cookies between html pages, but
between VB (or Javascript) and ASP in the same page.
That's what doesn'y work in my example ...

Below in this page, you can download a script that provides ready to use
cookie handling functions (setCookie, getCookie, deleteCookie and so on)
know as "Night of the Living Cookie" (you should also find this on Google).
I posted also another message that points to an article that better explains
the details regarding cookies.

Bascially the syntax would be rather "mycookie=10" to create a cookie named
"mycookie" whose value is 10.

Looks like a previous message didn't make it. The quick overview I was
talking about is :
