Question

I have a form like this:

<form id="loginCompact" action="https://externalsite..." name="sportsbook" method="post" onsubmit="createCookie('BRLOG', document.sportsbook.username.value, 1)">
    <input type="text" name="username" class="loginUsername" />
    ...other fields...
</form>

And this is the Javascript function that’s called:

<script type="text/javascript">
function createCookie(name,value,days) {
    if (days) {
        var date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
        var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
    }
    else var expires = "";
    document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/; domain='mydomain.com'";
}
</script>

However, the cookie is not getting set when the form is submitted. It was working fine when attached to the onclick handler of the button, but not on onsubmit. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I figured this out – I needed to put a full stop in front of the domain, and lose the quotes:

domain=.mydomain.com
