Todd,

IIS has nothing to do with cookies.

The difference you may be seeing would be between requesting the page via a
http: url and requesting it via a file: URL (which I believe is what happens
when you just double click in Windows Explorer). In particular, the domain
of the cookie may not match.

There's no way I'm going to read such a large amount of code looking for
this problem. I recommend that you isolate this problem down to just the
cookie issue and see if that helps you. If not, then please post the much
smaller reproducer and I'll be glad to take a look.

Maybe someone else with more patience can see the problem right away?

Todd,

When I run this code on my machine I get the same result both ways "dclick"
or browse it
I can not go through the entire code but what are the bad simptoms??

if your machine name has an underscore in it that can also
cause problems.

Guys, I don't think its problems with the source code.

When I open the page via http://localhost/Menu.htm each time I expand a menu
and refresh the page, the menus always default to all being closed - not
writing to the document.cookie (stateless)

When I open the page via C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Menu.htm each time I expand a
menu and refresh the page, the menus keep state, code writes to the
document.cookie.

All I am trying to do is add/implement a static tree navigation menu into an
ASP.NET application I have coded - and I want to keep the navigation state
(which menus the user has expanded, etc) on the client, not the server..

It was not a problem in the asp environment, but seems to be killing me in
asp.net
hehe

I can't figure out why it will not write to the document.cookie when I call
the page via http...

and dclick the .htm file, it opens and it keeps cookie state on the menus
(working)

What do I have to configure in order to make this work when I run the page
from IIS??

Thanks!

Guys, I don't think its problems with the source code.

When I open the page via http://localhost/Menu.htm each time I expand a menu
and refresh the page, the menus always default to all being closed - not
writing to the document.cookie (stateless)

When I open the page via C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Menu.htm each time I expand a
menu and refresh the page, the menus keep state, code writes to the
document.cookie.

Todd, like I said. Remove the complications of the menu code and concentrate
on the cookie problem. You'll probably find that the problem is the domain
field of the cookie. It needs to be blank for localhost.

Yeah, I will try to hardcode the domain field path for the cookie and see if
that works. If not I will just scratch everything and keep client state on
an parent IFrame or something..at least I know that works.
hehe

Thanks John

Todd, that's not what I said.

I said, try to find out what the domain is set to, then learn to set it the
right way.

How are you setting it now?

All I am trying to do is add/implement a static tree navigation menu into an
ASP.NET application I have coded - and I want to keep the navigation state
(which menus the user has expanded, etc) on the client, not the server..

It was not a problem in the asp environment, but seems to be killing me in
asp.net
hehe

I can't figure out why it will not write to the document.cookie when I call
the page via http...

Todd,

When I run this code on my machine I get the same result both ways "dclick"
or browse it
I can not go through the entire code but what are the bad simptoms??

When I compile it, or run it straight from IIS, it will not keep cookie
state for the menu selection (not-working).

When I open the webroot folder directly from the C drive (windows explorer)
and dclick the .htm file, it opens and it keeps cookie state on the menus
(working)

What do I have to configure in order to make this work when I run the page
from IIS??

Thanks!

Got it working!

Yeah I have like 10-15 different aspx pages all sharing the same .htm menu
() and what it was doing was creating a cookie for the menu state on each
aspx. page...hehe

So I forced the cookie to be created in one page, in the IFrame's parent,
and then hardcoded the window.location.pathname
("/ClerkOfCourt/CourtIndexing/MainNavigator.aspx")

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function get_cookie(Name)

if (offset != -1)
{
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = parent.document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1) end = parent.document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(parent.document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

var foldercontentarray=new Array()
var c=0

if (get_cookie("/ClerkOfCourt/CourtIndexing/MainNavigator.aspx") != '')
{
var
openresults=get_cookie("/ClerkOfCourt/CourtIndexing/MainNavigator.aspx").spl
it(" ")
for (i=0 ; i < openresults.length ; i++)
{
if (ns6)
{
foldercontentarray[openresults].style.display=''
}
else
{
foldinglist[openresults].style.display=''
}
}
}

if (ns6||ie4)
{
var nodelength=ns6? c-1 : foldinglist.length-1
var nodes=new Array(nodelength)
var openones=''
}

function checkit()
{
for (i=0 ; i <= nodelength ; i++)
{

alert(parent.document.cookie)
}

Working like a champ now.

Yeah, I guess if you spend enough time debugging your own cookie errors, you
can sometimes help some else with theirs. :)

Todd, I think someone posted in this thread that there is a problem with
cookies and hosts with underscore in the name...

It is the same for both:

"MyWebProject/Menu.htm"

It works great when I type http://localhost/MyWebProject/Menu.htm into the
Browser.

If does not work when I type http://todd_sloan/MyWebProject/Menu.htm into
the Browser.

Odd?


Todd, what is window.location.pathname in the case where it works
and
the
case where it does not work?
