Writing Cookies in ASP - geek/talk: Signature-free discourse for serious web publishers

drbones · 11-02-2001, 05:11 PM

I want to write a cookie to the users computer which expires every 24 hours... It is for my newsletter signup popup... I only want them to be annoyed with it once a day.
I've been messing around with cookies for about 3 hours now and have had only minor success in making any of them work. I don't want to use any Javascript.. I'd like to keep it all ASP
Thanks
Ryan

Can Somebody check and see if my cookie is working..
I hope this isn't against the rules, but all my computers have the cookie on it now and im not sure if i have fully killed it.
The address is http://www.medialunchbox.com
There should be a little popup with a signup for our newsletter showing up the first time you load it(once its fully loaded).. and then it shouldn't anymore.. if somebody could check this out i would be VERY appreciative.
Thanks
Ryan

Yes it is working fine!

But your site takes soooooooo long to load

It depends what time of day your looking at it...
I have 6 or 7 sites running on the server and at least 3 of them being fully ASP sites.. between about 5-8 PST my connection usually is pretty slow, but other than that, I'm assuming i need more ram in the server.. its a p3 800 with 256MB of ram, running at least 5-6 Access Databases... 2 of which are over 5 megs...
Could explain it.. I think i need to invest in more RAM
Thanks

Okay lets see if I could work this out

I accessed your page around 10.30am my time, so that would be 5pm your time (PST)

Are you serious, or is there a hint of sarcasm?
I have no idea what the time difference is...
I roughly 4:30 to aroun 8 i seem to have a sllloooww connection..
Thanks for looking tho!

I wasn't being sarcastic!

Just dubious about my ability to subtract 17.5 hours from the time I looked at your site.
