Re: HWG-LANGUAGES - IE Error in setCookie script

a few things wrong here. first of all your funtion is missing its formal 
parameters. in this case you only need open and close parentheses because no 
values are being passed to the function. your ending HTML comment needs a 
javascript comment before it. also, you needn't re-add the previous cookie 
string when adding values. the string isn't maintained like an ordinary 
string, the browser interprets the data sent to it and rebuilds the string. 
i find it hard to believe that netscape would accept this code as is! try 
this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- Hide
function setCookie() {
   document.cookie="QTYITEM0=0";
   document.cookie="QTYITEM1="+QTYITEM1.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM2="+QTYITEM2.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM3="+QTYITEM3.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM4="+QTYITEM4.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM5="+QTYITEM5.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM6="+QTYITEM6.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM7="+QTYITEM7.value;
   document.cookie="QTYITEM8="+QTYITEM8.value
   document.cookie="QTYITEM9="+QTYITEM9.value;
   }
//-->
</SCRIPT>
