Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Matthias,

I found the problem.

You had:  put $_Cookie["username”] 

It shouldn’t have the quotes.

put  $_Cookie[username]

works fine.

I think I made the same mistake sometime!  LOL

Cookies reside in the client’s web-browser which is why
as users were are always clearing them out.

So, LiveCode can read Javascript cookies!  Yay!

It’s good enough for now.  I’ll revisit Javascript session variables later.

Thanks for your help!

Rick
