1) You need to, without using cookies, be able to store your screen
layout information in a single string. I suggest name/value pairs
using a simple separator that you and then Split() to get back your
data.
2) Re-build your screen layout using that same string.
3) Once you've mastered that then move onto storing the same data in a
cookie, since cookies can only store strings.
Here's a few simple functions for reading/writing cookies.
function getCookie(c_name) {
if (document.cookie.length>0)
{
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=")
if (c_start!=-1)
{
c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start)
if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end))
}
}
return ""
}
function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays) {
var exdate=new Date()
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays)
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())
}
