[Javascript] ughh HELP WITH COOKIES PLEASE!!!!

[Podlesny, Michael]

Here is how I am setting it, this code is within a Perl script.  I set the
cookie to the username the person just logged in with and then I get the
cookie in my header code.  As you can see I set up an alert to see the value
of the cookie before I do anything with it.  This is for testing purposes
only.
 
Hope this helps.
 
print "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">\n";
print "<!-- \n";
print "set_cookie('username','$fields{'txtusername'}');\n";
print "// --> \n";
print "</SCRIPT>\n";
 
And here is how I am getting it:
 
print "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">\n";
print "<!-- \n";
print " alert(get_cookie('username'));\n";
print " if (get_cookie('username') != null) {\n";
print "       document.write ('<table>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<tr>');\n";
print "        document.write ('<td colspan=2 align=center><span
class=inputheader>'+get_cookie('username')+'</span></td>');\n";
print "        document.write ('</tr>');\n";
print "       document.write ('</table>');\n";
print " }\n";
print "  else {\n";
print "       document.write ('<form method=\"post\" name=\"frmlogin\"
action=\"\.\.\/cgi-bin\/football_survivor_log_in.pl\">');\n";
print "       document.write ('<table>');\n";
print "        document.write ('<tr>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td colspan=2 align=center><span
class=inputheader>Log In</span></td>');\n";
print "        document.write ('</tr>');\n";
print "        document.write ('<tr>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td><span
class=inputheader>username</span></td>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td><input type=text name=txtusername
maxlength=25></td>');\n";
print "        document.write ('</tr>');\n";
print "        document.write ('<tr>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td><span
class=inputheader>password</span></td>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td><input type=password name=pwdpassword
maxlength=25></td>');\n";
print "        document.write ('</tr>');\n";
print "        document.write ('<tr>');\n";
print "         document.write ('<td colspan=2 align=center><input
type=submit value=\"log in\"></td>');\n";
print "        document.write ('</tr>');\n";
print "       document.write ('</table>');\n";
print "       document.write ('</form>');\n";
print " }\n";
print "// --> \n";
print "</SCRIPT>\n";

ughh HELP WITH COOKIES PLEASE!!!!
The code below only saves my cookie for the page in which it is set.  Does
anyone have any ideas as to why my cookie is deleted when I access the
another page on my sitter?
 
here is the code

function set_cookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
  var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
      ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
      ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
      ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
      ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
  document.cookie = curCookie;
}
 
// name - name of the desired cookie
// * return string containing value of specified cookie or null if cookie
does not exist
function get_cookie(name) {
  var dc = document.cookie;
  var prefix = name + "=";
  var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
  if (begin == -1) {
    begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
    if (begin != 0) return null;
  } else
    begin += 2;
  var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
  if (end == -1)
    end = dc.length;
  return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
}
