    text
    copied!<p>I have a lot of trouble writing HTML that is intermingled with JavaScript. I have a input box that assigns the input to a variable. I want that input box to assign the input to the cookie and if there is a cookie entered in the site it redirects you. Now I have I am able to have it redirect you if you have the cookie entered, at least i think and also I have an input box. Now If anyone could help me with this that will be great. </p> <p>Here is the code for the cookie</p> <pre><code>function setCookie(cname,cvalue,exdays) { var d = new Date(); d.setTime(d.getTime()+(exdays*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "expires="+d.toGMTString(); document.cookie = cname+"="+cvalue+"; "+expires; } function getCookie(cname) { var name = cname + "="; var ca = document.cookie.split(';'); for(var i=0; i&lt;ca.length; i++) { var c = ca[i].trim(); if (c.indexOf(name)==0) return c.substring(name.length,c.length); } return ""; } function checkCookie() { var user=getCookie("username"); if (user!="") { window.location.assign("http://....") //if the user has a cookie saved it will redirect them to a newpage } else { user = prompt("Please enter your name:",""); // I do not want a prompt I want a input box if (user!="" &amp;&amp; user!=null) { setCookie("username",user,30); } } } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the html for the input box:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="container"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="input"/&gt; &lt;button id="trigger"&gt;enter&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the javascript that make the input a variable:</p> <pre><code> var trigger = document.getElementById("trigger"); trigger.addEventListener("click", function () { var input = document.getElementById("input"); }, false) </code></pre> <p>You don't have to use my html but to recap: I would like an input box not a pop up where users but some info for their cookie and if the info is in there it redirects them to another page. </p> <p>How do make a string a cookie? Or how do you make an input the cookie?</p>
