Get cookies on form load

**brouse** · 06-07-2005, 03:38 PM

I have some javascript functions for getting/saving cookies. What I want to do is save all the values in the Input controls on the form to a cookie, and restore those values back into the form controls when the form is reloaded at some point in the future.

I was going to put the javascript function calls into the form's onLoad() and onUnload() events, but apparently the "Form" tag doesn't support those events. I put them in the "Body" tag, but the onLoad() fails because the form portion hasn't loaded yet when the body onLoad() event fires.

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

The document.onload() event shouldn't fire until the page is fully loaded and rendering is complete.

MAybe the problem is that I am using:

Code:

<Body onLoad="SetOperators(This)">

It is saying that "this" does not exist. I've also tried:

Code:

<Body onLoad="SetOperators(This.FormName)">

I need to pass a reference to the form. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks...

Never mind... I just put the name of the form into the function call instead of "this".
