hi guys, i have two html pages and what i'm trying to do is to write html2 in a slighty different way. if you look at html2 there is a code like this: NameString = document.cookie.substring(Pos+20,Pos+8) //extract the 12 characters from where the name starts. now this code requires me to look for a file called cookie.txt on netscape subdirectory as you can see from the attachment!! BUT the main problem i got is i cannot find the cookie.txt file in netscape 8.0 folder. so i was wondering if there is an alternative way or easier way of writing the code in html2 without looking at the cookie.txt file.
thanks
here are the two hmtl page:
