Cookie Toolkit + Validation Toolkit not working

Cookie Toolkit + Validation Toolkit not working

Hello,

I'm trying to apply cookies to a form that I built using the validation Toolkit and Universal email. The reason I needed the cookies was that everytime I test my form and trigger the form Validation (by doing something wrong on the form) it completely erases the entire form. I was hoping to fix this by using the Cookies Toolkit and using the set entire form in cookie and set entire form from cookie behaviors.

I'm not sure why the cookie is not working now.

Please try it - the fields in red are required. If you fill it out without a field in red - the error message appears - but the cookie isn't retaining the info.

Here is the form:
catalogrequest_form.php

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is this because I didn't set the cookie days to expire?

I didn't put anything in the field for days to expire because in the example video there wasn't anything put in there. Also - how to I edit the cookie once I've set it for the entire form? Is there a way to do that? Or do I just add to the code. I'm just not too experienced with editing this kind of Javascript.

Here's the code for the cookie:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function WA_setFormCookie(cookieObj, formObj, cookieName, expdays) {
if (expdays) {
cookieObj.expires = daysToExpire(expdays);
}
else {
cookieObj.expires = "";
}
cookieFormToString(cookieObj,formObj,cookieName);
}
function WA_getFormCookie(cookieObj, formObj, cookieName) {
cookieFormFromString(cookieObj,formObj,cookieName);
}
//-->
</script>

the WA_Cookies/Cookies.js file has not been uploaded to the server.


Cookies.js


gives a 404 page not found error.

Hmm... that's strange - usually it automatically uploads needed files. OK - I manually uploaded it now.
