Thanks for the qiuck, and good ansver!
I understand the princips of this! I can make it save cookies just as I want it to do!
There is no problems here... allmost at least...
Cant I update a cookie? lets say that I once have defined the cookie witha value called "no" and then the user ansveres the poll, then I want it to change to a value called "yes" (the same cookie)
When I do something like that, it seems like I get an error... Maybe its just me, making a mistake...
Anyway, your ansver helped me a lot further here!

You should be able to use the same syntax to update a cookie as you do to create it.
try this...
'page 1
Response.cookie("CookieName") = "value1"
'Now go to "C:\windows\temporary internet files\"
' and find the cookie you just set.
'The value for "CookieName" should be "value1"
'page 2
Response.cookie("CookieName") = "value2"
'fint the cookie again.
'the value should now be "value2"

For all i know (not much about cookies) i think you need to write in order to display the cookie:
<?php=Request.cookie("date")
?>
you can write the two fields in the same cookie
Response.Cookie("visit")("date")=date
Response.Cookie("visit")("time")=time
Now to read from the cookie you do this :
The date you visited is
<?php=Request.Cookie("visit")(date)
?>
The time you visited is
<?php=Request.Cookie("visit")(time)
?>
Am i wrong ????

Hmmm
First of all, you are telling me to write a cookie in 2 ways! one with the ***.cokie and one with ***.cokies !!! I have found out, that the last one, gotta be the right one...
Now, I am staring to think that my problem is, that I am testing it all from my harddrive, so that I cant save cookies that way.. though that I thourght that you could do that from your harddrive... (using PWS, to set up a network server)
Anyway, does any of you know if that is the problem, or if it is just my computer that doesnt like cookies?

sorry for the inconsistancy.. I didn't notice.
I haven't [l;ayed with ASP and PWS on my machine, but I have used PHP on my machine and it was able o create cookies.
Have you turned cookies off on your machine?

Hmmm
No, cokkies is actually on, on my computer, so that aint the problem, and I have allso tryed to put it out on the net, and tested it from there.
Ehhmm... I will try to look at webmonkies, and see if I can find a toturial on cookies´...
If you got any other ideas, please tell me... Else I will just try to find a toturial somewhere...

hotcut,
It would help if you could be a little more descriptive than "I'm getting an error"
The examples here have been correct but I'll go over it again, to set a cookie:
Response.Cookies("value") = "Voted"
To retrieve that key value:
Request.Cookies("value")
To reset that key value:
Response.Cookies("value") = "NotVoted"
If you don't supply an expiry date that cookie will only last until the browser is closed. If you want a cookie that remains on the client's hard drive, use the following:
Response.Cookies("value").Expires = "October 25,2000"
If you plan on storing more than one key in the cookie you will have to name them, but if you're only using this to keep track of voting then you don't need more than one key.
Regards,
Peter J. Boettcher

Hi hotcut
First of all about your question you cant run Asp or other server side language on your harddrive you have to run it on the net (It server side language so the server have to run it)
Second of all thank you you right its cookies not cookie and in your post you wrote cokies maybe its your mistake its COOKIES

To Gray Wol:
Ohhh yea, you can run ASP from your harddrive... I actually did tell you that I set it up using PWS wich stands for: Personal Web Server. It is a program, that you can find on your windows 98 (or maybe allso higher versions) cd, undet updates, or something like that, there you install PWS, and you will then be able to set up a webserver, on your intraner. Actually you dont need to have an intranet for that, you just, when installed, write your computers name in the adress bare in the browser, and you are at you website, on your computer! There you can run ASP from, without having to even open up the internet access!!!
Second, The problem isnt the "cokkie(s)"tag, it is something else...
Back to track again...
Peter, I agree, t´hat you are right in that "I am getting an error" isnt sufficient, but I am getting all ASP errors in Danish, so it is a kind of difficouldt for me to translate something like that... Anyway, I can now try to tell you what it says...
Ok, this is a translation of the danish error code, so try to get the best out of it!:
Response-object error 'ASP 0156 : 80004005'
Headererror
/poll/pollproc.asp, line 12
The HTTP-headers is allready beeing written to the client browser. Changes of the HTTP-headers has to be done, before the contents of the page is written.
Ok, that should make a bit sense... I didnt understand what the actual meaning of it is, but hey, maybe you do!
I will write the code, that I am using, to set the cookie now:
The result
<?php
Response.Cookies("poll1ansvered") = "yes"
dim spq
spq = Request.Form("spqnummer")
'... and tons of other ASP stuff...
?>
Can you see what the problem posible can be here? When I try to get the cookie, on an other page, it just doesnt giva any result... It just gives a blank feedback!
And Peter, now to your expires part, I knew that it was nessesary in javascript, but I didnt think of, that you allso had to do that in ASP... Glad that you told me!
When I shall put that into my code, shall I then use two lines of code? like:
Response.Cookies("poll1ansvered") = "yes"
'and
Response.Cookies("poll1ansvered").Expires = "October 25,2000"
or shall I somehow put it all into 1 line, and if that, how? I cant test what to do my self, right now, becourse the cookies dosnt work, as you know...
I hope that you can help me out, so ´that my poll will come up and running...

hotcut,
Try moving the
<?phpResponse.Cookies("poll1ansvered") = "yes"
?>
To answer your other question, yes, you have to use separate lines of code, so it should work as you typed it.

Peter got the solution to the last problem. You have to send ALL header information before you send the content. Cookies are considered part of the content.
Peter-
)
I forgot all about the .Expires thing. thanks!
I haven't used (client side) cookies in a while... been using server side cookies mostly for work (for security reasons), and they don't require .Expires (far as I know anyway

I have now put my poll out on the w.w.w.!
It doesnt work!
It gives me this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Response.Cokkies'
/cbang/poll/pollproc.asp, line 3
in the first 4 lines of my page I have this:
<?php
Response.Cookies("poll1ansvered") = "yes"
<strong>Response.Cokkies("pollansvered").Expires = "December 31,2000" </strong>
?>
The bold part is the part, that the error is talking about! What is the error now?
I dont understand this at all!!
Ok, my poll is here:

I believe English is not your first language -- or maybe your fingers are just too fast? -- so I suggest the first thing you should probably do is try spelling "Cookies" right!!

Actually, the real proverb for it is, and I quote:
"One man may lead a horse to the water, but twenty cannot make him drink"
That is the real proverb; Get it from a book at my side! You are right, that the other one that I wrote was wrong, but it isnt the danish one... There is a danish proverb for that, but I cant remember how it sounds
I like the english version better anyway 
Thats it for now...
BTW: My poll, and guestbook should be up and runnning, at the time you read this, just a few final ajustsments is needed, so that the english version will have the right layout!
Kind regards
Casper
