Please don't bump your thread before 24 hours have passed.

You can use the cookie functions from quirksmode, http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html

Changing this line:

Code:

date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));

To this:

Code:

date.setTime(date.getTime()+(30*1000));

And later call the function like this.

Code:

if (readCookie('yourCookie'))
{
    // Do something
}
else
{
   // Do something else
}

Dose

Code:

date.setTime(date.getTime()+(30*1000));

Set the cookie?

If so what will the cookie name be for it ?

Thanks

No, the createCookie() function from the page I posted above sets the cookie. You only have to change one line with the one I posted.

Right i dont know what im messing up... but to be frank i know fa about js... is all new to me...

Code:

function createCookie(graffiti_wall) {
	var date = new Date();
	date.setTime(date.getTime()+(30*1000));
	var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
	document.cookie = graffiti_wall+"="+expires+"; path=/";
}

function readCookie(graffiti_wall) {
	var nameEQ = graffiti_wall + "=";
	var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
	for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
		var c = ca[i];
		while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
		if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
	}
	return null;
}

function validate(f) {
    if(f['painttext'].value.split(' ').length<2) {
        toggleLayer('hiddenLayer')
		document.getElementById('bttnsubmit').disabled=true
		document.getElementById("graffiti").painttext.value=""
    } else {
		
	if (readCookie('graffiti_wall')) {
	   toggleLayer('hiddenLayerPost')
	} else {
	   toggleLayer('hiddenLayerLoad')
	   createCookie()
	}
			
	   addtag(this.value)
  }
}

Am i starting to do this in the right way ?

Im getting no errors but i still dont have a lot going on lol

Thanks

The functions seem to be in order, but you are not sending a name to the createCookie function when you call it.
This means you'll check for a cookie named "graffiti_wall", and if it's not there, create a cookie with the name undefined.
Also, I suggest that you include a value for the cookie, even if it's just a 1.

Code:

function createCookie(name,value)
{
	var date = new Date();
	date.setTime(date.getTime()+(30*1000));
	var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
	document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}
...
createCookie('graffiti_wall',1)
