Drop-in content box v2.0 Cookie Bug

1) Script Title: Drop-in content box v2.0

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici.../dropinbox.htm

3) Describe problem: Session only cookie does not work in IE 8 and less. Here's an updated version of the script which corrects that:

Attachment 5083

Only the set cookie function is changed. It's changed to assure that one of the persistent modes is in play (day, hr or min) before attempting to calculate an expiration date:

Code:

---

dropincontentbox.routines={

        cookiere: /^(\d+)(day|hr|min)$/, //re to parse duration if not 'session' -jds

        getCookie:function(Name){
                var re=new RegExp(Name+"=[^;]+", "i"); //construct RE to search for target name/value pair
                if (document.cookie.match(re)) //if cookie found
                        return document.cookie.match(re)[0].split("=")[1] //return its value
                return null
        },

        setCookie:function(name, value, duration){
                var expirestr='', expiredate=new Date()
                if (typeof duration!=="undefined" && (duration=dropincontentbox.routines.cookiere.exec(duration))){ //if set persistent cookie and not session -jds
                        var offsetmin=duration[1] * (duration[2]==='hr'? 60 : duration[2]==='day'? 60*24 : 1)
                        expiredate.setMinutes(expiredate.getMinutes() + offsetmin)
                        expirestr="; expires=" + expiredate.toUTCString()
                }
                document.cookie = name+"="+value+"; path=/"+expirestr
        }
}
