Making the cookie's name take the value of the username
I want to create a cookie for every user that logs in my site so that the next time a person attempts to log in, my code will search if a cookie exists for that user based on his username.
How do I write a cookie whose name will take the value of the username? Help!

ASP (set cookie)
CookieValue = "logged in"UserName = request.form("UserName")
Response.Cookies(UserName) = CookieValue
ASP (set session cookie)
CookieValue = "logged in"UserName = request.form("UserName")
Session(UserName) = CookieValue
Javascript (set cookie)
// cookie expires after 1 month
expireDate = new Date
expireDate.setMonth(expireDate.getMonth()+1)
CookieValue = "logged in"
UserName = document.form_name.field_name.value
document.cookie = UserName + "=" + CookieValue + ";expires=" + expireDate.toGMTString()
