I have a cookie that I did using javascript and to check if it had to be replaced I used "onload=checkCookie()" in the body tag of the HTML, however now I'm trying to place the js in another file and just link it using the tag, but if I do that I can no longer call this function using just "onload" so I was wondering how can I do this? everybody else I've asked tells me to leave the code there, but I want to separate my design in layers =S
here's the js:
function getCookie(c_name){
if (document.cookie.length>0){
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start!=-1){
c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
}
}
return "";
}
function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays){
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString());
}
function checkCookie(){
username=getCookie('username');
if(username!=null && username!=""){
alert('Welcome again '+username+'!');
}else{
username=prompt('Please enter your name:',"");
if(username!=null && username!=""){
setCookie('username',username,365);
}
}
}
Everything is inside a file called init.js
