Createing a cookie for Checkbox

[Agent Moose]

The tutorial didn't help me on w3schools for createing a checkbox cookie, so that when you click on the checkbox, it gets checked, then you somehow save it like that, so it will always be like taht...anyone wanna tell me how to create it?

Without writing the code, these are the steps I would take:

1. When the form is submitted, check to see whether or not the checkbox is checked.
2. Write that value to the cookie.
3. The next time the page is loaded, check for the existence of the cookie.
4. If the cookie is present and the value indicates that the checkbox had been checked, then the checkbox was checked. Otherwise, the checkbox wasn't checked.
5. Access the checkbox through the DOM and set its checked property to true or false depending on the findings of the previous step.
