Hello TWF Members
I have a few problems
I need people to log in to my site and have it remember their UserNames and passwords the whole time.
1st problem: When I execute the .pl script to set the cookie, it gives me "method: post is not allowed on this server"(Not sure what kind of problem this is)
It is my own server, but I didn't find anything about POST not being allowed
2nd problem: It tells me "UserName is undefined"
The script is below
Please troubleshoot for me.Thanks

<html>&lt;script language=javascript&gt;
function getCookie(NameOfCookie)
{  if (document.cookie.length > 0) 
{     begin = document.cookie.indexOf(NameOfCookie+"="); 
    if (begin != -1) {
     begin += NameOfCookie.length+1; 
      end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
      if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
      return unescape(document.cookie.substring(begin, end));       } 
  }
return ; 
}

function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value, expiredays) 
{  var ExpireDate = new Date ();
  ExpireDate.setTime(ExpireDate.getTime() + (expiredays * 24 * 3600 * 1000));
  document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + escape(value) + 
  ((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + ExpireDate.toGMTString());
}

function delCookie (NameOfCookie) 
{  if (getCookie(NameOfCookie)) {
  document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" +
   "; expires=Thu, 31-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT";
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;

if (getCookie("UserName") != Null ) {

if (getCookie(UserName) != Null ) {
if (getCookie(Password) != Null ) {
