Example 15.1 brings all this discussion of cookies together. This example defines a Cookie class. When you create a Cookie object, you specify a Document object, a name for the cookie, and, optionally, an expiration time, a path, a domain, and whether the cookie should be secure. After creating a Cookie object, you may set arbitrary properties on this object. When you call the store() method of the object, these property names and values will be stored as the value of the cookie (a single cookie, not one for each property). Later, when you return to the page, or on another page, you can create a Cookie object with the same name. When you invoke the load() method of the object, the cookie value will be read and parsed, and the stored properties will be re-created in the new Cookie object. Finally, if you call the remove() method of the Cookie object, the cookie values will be deleted.
This example demonstrates a useful and elegant way to use cookies. The code is somewhat complicated, but is worth studying. You might choose to start at the bottom of the example, so you understand how the Cookie class is used before you start trying to understand how it is defined.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"> // The constructor function: creates a cookie object for the specified // document, with a specified name and optional attributes. // Arguments: // document: the Document object that the cookie is stored for. Required. // name: a string that specifies a name for the cookie. Required. // hours: an optional number that specifies the number of hours from now // that the cookie should expire. // path: an optional string that specifies the cookie path attribute. // domain: an optional string that specifies the cookie domain attribute. // secure: an optional Boolean value that, if true, requests a secure cookie. // function Cookie(document, name, hours, path, domain, secure) { // All the predefined properties of this object begin with '$' // to distinguish them from other properties which are the values to // be stored in the cookie. this.$document =index.html document; this.$name = name; if (hours) this.$expiration = new Date((new Date()).getTime() + hours*3600000); else this.$expiration = null; if (path) this.$path = path; else this.$path = null; if (domain) this.$domain = domain; else this.$domain = null; if (secure) this.$secure = true; else this.$secure = false; } // This function is the store() method of the Cookie object. function _Cookie_store() { // First, loop through the properties of the Cookie object and // put together the value of the cookie.
