    Default Modify setcookie

    How can I modify setcookie from checkbox to onload (script below)

    Checkbox original=<input type=checkbox name="cat" onClick="SetCookie('animal', this.name, exp);">cat

    I tried these but they aren't work.
    <body onload="SetCookie('animal', this.name, exp);"> (not work)
    <body onload="SetCookie('animal', cat, exp);"> (not work)

    What is the right way???

    Please help me, Thank You!

    Default

    Code:
    <body onload="SetCookie('animal', 'cat', exp);">
    However, if you have any other onload events (they can appear anywhere within a script block as well as in the body tag) on the page (such as one to retrieve the cookie value). There will probably be conflicts. The code in your post after the dotted line has none though.
