display cookie on a form field

display cookie on a form field

I'm trying to display a username (email address) in a 'sign-in' form.

the first time someone enters their username and password, the username is saved to a cookie. (this works)

the next time I want to display the stored username data in the textfield. I've set the 'inital value' to be the cookie, but nothing is displayed!?

I can display the cookie data, not in the text field, and this shows that the data has been stored.

Any ideas on how I get the cookie data to display in a text filed?

You can display a cookie for the value of a form element like this:

<input name="text1" type="text" id="text1" value="<?php echo((isset($_COOKIE["my_new_cook"]))?$_COOKIE["my_new_cook"]:"") ?>" />

To do this I just selected the form element in design view and using the bindings panel I just inserted the cookie value. This of course will not display if the cookie is not set. If you have any further problems with this please post back with a URL and any steps needed to get the cookie set and displayed.

the page is asp, not php, here's the link...
SignIn.asp


you'll notice below the form "", this is where the cookie is displayed (as text) when it has been written. I've used the same code to display the cookie in the eMail text box

this is the code I've used
<input name="txtSIGN" type="text" class="LogInTEXT" id="txtSIGN" value="<%=cStr(Request.Cookies("DSemail"))%>" size="40">

@John, I have opened a ticket for you on this so that we can check your pages to help determine why you are not able to populate the field with the cookie value.

for DMCKIB, please explain a little bit more about what you are experiencing here.
