Hello, I am trying to learn how to write cookies to keep the data in my CookieButton1 button persistent and to survive refreshes and page reloads. How can I do this in JavaScript? I have supplied my source code. Any advise, links or tutorials will be very helpful. If you navigate to http://iqlusion.net/test.html and click on Empty1, it will start to ask you questions. When finished it stores everything into CookieButton1. But when I refresh my browser the data resets and goes away.

Thanks!

<script type="text/javascript" >

var Can1Set = "false";

function Can1()
{
   if (Can1Set == "false")
   {
      Can1Title = prompt("What do you want to name this new canned response?","");
      Can1State = prompt("Enter a ticket state (open or closed)","closed");
      Can1Response = prompt("Enter the canned response:","");
      Can1Points = prompt("What point percentage do you want to assign? (0-10)","2.5");

      // Set the "Empty 1" button text to the new name the user specified
      document.CookieTest.CookieButton1.value = Can1Title;

      // Set the cookie here, and then set the Can1Set variable to true
      document.CookieTest.CookieButton1 = "CookieButton1";

      Can1Set = true;
   }else{
      document.TestForm.TestStateDropDownBox.value = Can1State;
      document.TestForm.TestPointsDropDownBox.value = Can1Points;
      document.TestForm.TestTextArea.value = Can1Response;

      // document.TestForm.submit();

   }
}
</script>
