Hi Guys,

Can anyone help! I am trying to put together a basic cookie in JavaScript.
The cookie part of the script it working perfectly, no problems there.
However after the cookie has been executed I want the script to send an
email using CDONTS. This is where I am having problems.

I only want the email to be sent if the cookie is executed ie if it exists.
Currently nothing is working, if I take out the email side of the script the
cookie works, but I need both running.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

<script>
<!--


// page to go to if cookie exists
go_to = "software.htm";

// number of days cookie lives for
num_days = 1;
function ged(noDays){
    var today = new Date();
    var expr = new Date(today.getTime() + noDays*24*60*60*1000);
    return  expr.toGMTString();
}

function readCookie(cookieName){
    var start = document.cookie.indexOf(cookieName);
    if (start == -1){
        document.cookie = "seenit=yes; expires=" + ged(num_days);
    } else {
        window.location = go_to;
    }
}

readCookie("seenit");

// now send the email using CDONTS

Set sendmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
sendmailMsg.From = email@email.com
sendmailMsg.To = user@user.com
sendmailMsg.subject = "Subject"
sendmailMsg.body = "Body"
sendmailMsg.send

// -->
</script>


Hope you can help!

Cheers

Ben
