JavaScript cookie无法在表单提交中使用

Question

I have a form like this:

<form id="loginCompact" action="https://externalsite..." name="sportsbook" method="post" onsubmit="createCookie('BRLOG', document.sportsbook.username.value, 1)">
    <input type="text" name="username" class="loginUsername" />
    ...other fields...
</form>

And this is the Javascript function that's called:

<script type="text/javascript">
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=/; domain='mydomain.com'";
}
</script>

However, the cookie is not getting set when the form is submitted. It was working fine when attached to the onclick handler of the button, but not on onsubmit . Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check to make sure onsubmit is spelled correctly (maybe it's onSubmit?).

Simplify by putting an alert in instead of a call to your function

onsubmit="alert('test')"

Put an alert at the top of your function to see if it's getting called and the cookie isn't being set for some more complicated reason.

If it is getting called, check to make sure that all of the variables your rely on are correct, using alerts, or (better), something like firebug.

我发现了这一点-我需要在域名前加句号，并删除引号：

domain=.mydomain.com
