satellite.cookie

Sets a cookie on the user's browser.

Syntax

<satellite.cookie 
      name="cookie_name"
      value="cookie_value"
      timeout="timeout"
      secure="true|false"
      xhtml="true|false"
      url="URL"
      [domain="domain"]/>

Parameters

name (required)

Name of cookie to set.

value (required)

Value of the cookie being set.

timeout (required)

Required. Timeout value of cookie, in seconds. To set a session-long cookie, set this value to -1.

secure (required)

Set to true to indicate a secure cookie; set to false to indicate an non-secure cookie.

xhtml

Set to true to indicate if the generated mark up is strict xhtml compliant.

url (required)

A valid URL. This value restricts the sending of the cookie from the client to this URL only. The path must include the context that set the cookie, for example,
/cs, which makes the cookie visible to all directories on the server under
/cs.

domain (optional)

Optional. Specify a valid domain name. This value restricts the sending of the cookie from the client to addresses in this domain only

Description

The satellite.cookie tag sets a cookie on the user's browser.

HTML requires that serverside cookies must be set in the head section of a Web page. However, you don't have to put the satellite.cookie tag inside the head section of a Sites element; you can place it anywhere within the element, because Sites-Satellite causes the cookie to be set in a second request to the page. The satellite.cookie tag invokes the CookieServer to set the cookie.

Example

This example sets the cookie mycookie on the client with the value frank. The cookie expires 600 seconds from the time it is created.

<satellite.cookie
      NAME="mycookiename" 
      VALUE="mycookievalue" 
      TIMEOUT="600" 
      SECURE="false"
      XHTML="false"
      URL="/cs/ContentServer" />
