How do you redirect a return visitor?

**MrCorby** · 08-24-2006, 08:49 PM

Is it possible to create a cookie using javascript that will redirect a return visitor to the page last viewed? For example if a user completes only half of a 20 page tutorial then quits the browser. When he returns, can he be redirect to where he left off?

Check out this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getCookieVal (offset) {

    var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);

    if (endstr == -1) {
        endstr = document.cookie.length;
    }

    return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}

function getCookie (cookieName)  {

    var arg = cookieName + "=";
    var argLength = arg.length;

    var cookieLength = document.cookie.length;

    var i = 0;

    while (i < cookieLength)  {
        var j = i + argLength;


        if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg) {

            return getCookieVal(j)
        }

        if (i == 0) {
            break
        }
     }
     return null;
}

function setCookie(name, value) {


    var argv = setCookie.arguments;

    var argc = setCookie.arguments.length;

    var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;

    var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;

    var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;

    var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;

    document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
        ((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
        ((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
        ((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
        ((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}

function register(userName, value) {

    if (userName == "" || userName == null) {

        userName = "Unknown User"
    }


    if(getCookie('myCookie') == null) {

        var expdate = new Date()

        expdate.setTime(expdate.getTime() + (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365));

        setCookie('myCookie', userName, expdate);
        alert ("Thank you for registering, " + userName + "!  Click OK to enter the registered portion of my site.");

         location.href = "list0602.htm"

     }
}
if(getCookie('myCookie') != null) {
    location.href="list0602.htm"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="loginForm">
<input type="text" name="fullName" size=35>
<br>
<input type="button" value="Register" onclick="register(loginForm.fullName.value)">
</form>
</body>
</html>
