Javascript Cookie Counter

[ChidoriSoul]

Is there a way in Javascript, that you can make a page with a counter determining who many times an IP has visted it, or technically, clicked a button for searching for something, and it would say"You have searched " " times"Just like one in ASP, except in JS

Ofcourse it's possible. Just everytime the script is run read the current value of the cookie increase it and modify the cookie, i don't have the time to create the whole script for you but i found one u might find usefull

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- function nameDefined(ckie,nme){   var splitValues   var i   for (i=0;i<ckie.length;++i)   {      splitValues=ckie[i].split("=")      if (splitValues[0]==nme) return true   }   return false}function delBlanks(strng){   var result=""   var i   var chrn   for (i=0;i<strng.length;++i) {      chrn=strng.charAt(i)      if (chrn!=" ") result += chrn   }   return result}function getCookieValue(ckie,nme){   var splitValues   var i   for(i=0;i<ckie.length;++i) {      splitValues=ckie[i].split("=")      if(splitValues[0]==nme) return splitValues[1]   }   return ""}function insertCounter() { readCookie() displayCounter()} function displayCounter() { document.write('<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">') document.write("You've visited this page ") if(counter==1) document.write("the first time.") else document.write(counter+" times.") document.writeln('</H3>') }function readCookie() { var cookie=document.cookie counter=0 var chkdCookie=delBlanks(cookie)  //are on the client computer var nvpair=chkdCookie.split(";") if(nameDefined(nvpair,"pageCount")) counter=parseInt(getCookieValue(nvpair,"pageCount")) ++counter var futdate = new Date() var expdate = futdate.getTime() expdate += 3600000 * 24 *30  //expires in 1 hour futdate.setTime(expdate) var newCookie="pageCount="+counter newCookie += "; expires=" + futdate.toGMTString() window.document.cookie=newCookie}// -->insertCounter();</SCRIPT>

and remember: Google is you're friend

Ok, so i have that code, but how do I make it so i can use it on different pages, and the counters are different

[vytas]

I don't know exactly what u mean with different counters on different pages. But wouldn't it be easyer to make the counter server-side else it would be difficult to make a counter for every search.

[ChidoriSoul]

I can't do server side, unfortunatly

[vytas]

But then what is you're search page made of?

Here is the page, but when i use the counter code on a different page (Same code) it starts off where i have visited this page.Like i am clicking on this page and it says "You have searched 29485 times"I put the code on a different page that i have never visited before, and it says "You have searched 29485 times"

Cookies apply to the entire domain, they get sent with all requests to the same domain. If you want to track it per page you need to put each page name in the cookie also, or create cookies based on the page name with the value being the number you're tracking.In general, if you want to track it per-page, then you need to keep track of the page name.

[ChidoriSoul]

Ok, but i still have no idea on how to do that, (I am a kind of beginner to JS)

[justsomeguy]

You're using "pageCount" for the cookie name. Change that to be page-specific. That means the code on each page needs to be different, it needs to use a different cookie name.

[ChidoriSoul]

Ok, so what places do I change it, because now when I try to do it, it says "You Searched NaN times"

[justsomeguy]

You change it anywhere you read or write the cookie.

[ChidoriSoul]

SO I should change everywhere it says pageCount to what I want, Severe sea.

[justsomeguy]

Indeed, harsh ocean.
