Not really WRT: S60 Browser offline and with cookies

[lorion84]

Hi,

it's not really WRT but I haven't found the right category. I came to the same conclusion as the "here and now"-team: why starting a programm which will for sure link to a webpage if the stuff the programm does can be done by the browser as well.

So I try to save some userdata, in this case some urls within the "programm". The only way to do that is (correct me if I am wrong) with cookies. But the site seems to only save the cookies if the .htm is on a webserver, not if the file is locally stored ( file:///E:/testprog/test.htm ).

Is this some problem I could avoid? Or a browser issue (it's working with Firefox...).

I am testin with a 5800XM.

THX for help!

EDIT: I am adding the cookie with the following code:

function readCookie(name) {
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
}
return null;
}

Hi lorion84,

welcome to Forum Nokia Discussion Boards!

The code you've posted seems to be related to cookies' reading, not writing: have you maybe posted the wrong code snippet?

Stupid me

function createCookie(name,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
}
else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

Thanks for the snippet.

Just a question: if you want to display local HTML pages, why wouldn't you switch to a WRT widget?

Easy: the site should act as startpage forthe browser. So a wrt wont do the job.

The possibilitie to have the page offline would be nice2have.

Any suggestions?

I have not direct experience with cookies and local HTML pages, anyway I'll give it a try and let you know.

Have you found something out?
