Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

I doubt that the qoutes were the problem. ;)

Your 
put $_cookie[username]  
will replace the content of the var username.
In your case, if the value of variable username for example is Peter then 
LC would replace $_cookie[username]   with $_cookie["Peter"]

If username wasn't used before then LC uses username as the value of username

In this case LC would replace $_cookie[username] with $_cookie["username"].

So for example
put "hallo" into tArray["mytext"]
put tArray["mytext"]    --returns hallo
put tArray[mytext] 	-- returns hallo
put "test" into mytext
put tArray[mytext] -- returns nothing

So i am not sure, what the problem was, but definitely not the quotes. ;)

Regards,
Matthias
