Like I know you can, but I'ld like an explanation as to "why" unless its simple simple like PHP has that ability built in?

Am I missing something here? I was under the impression that cookies didn't have anything to do with what language the site was using.
 
Posted by MattP (Member # 10495) on :
 
There is a standard for cookies. There's nothing special about a "PHP cookie" vs a "Perl cookie".
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Cookies are just a bit of information stored on the client that are transmitted as part of the HTTP request, given certain conditions being met (mainly that it be the site that set the cookie in the first place). Anything can parse the HTTP headers and get what's in the cookie.

Okay thanks, I'm studying for a test.

Question, can an html page have more then 1 form and if so what restrictions are there?
 
Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :
 
Is your test in extremely basic web programming?

Or is it maybe a take home that you are posting questions from here so that people can write your answers for you?
 
Posted by MattP (Member # 10495) on :
 
These questions are way too basic to justify posting here. Do a little research.
 
Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :
 
I think it's likely he's posting them from an assignment or test.
 
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
 
If it was so easy to research it would I post the question here?

And no I have a sample exam and I am trying to answer the questions in preparation.

Yes, you most definitely would. I get the feeling that posting incredibly basic questions here and getting people to answer for them is your idea of "research".

You can find what a cookie actually is at thousands of sites. You can easily find the usage and restrictions of html forms at even more.

Or, you could have actually learned this incredibly basic information when it was taught to you in class or at least look it up in your notes/class materials.

Google "html multiple forms" The first hit will answer your question. Heck, the text snippet on the Google results page will answer your question.

Blayne, they are easy to search. I found answers for both your questions with my first attempt at a google search.

Hatrack is not google (or wikipedia).

-Bok

EDIT: I found the answer to multiple forms with a completely different search criteria, but the answer was still within the first 2-3 hits, and like Matt noted, the answer was actually in the fragment in google, without even going to the actual result page.

Odd my googling usually never turns up the answer I want.
 
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
 
anyways thanks.

I suspect that you're giving up if you don't find the answer in the first search you try. Furthermore, surely this class has a book that we can assume you've read? Or you could just try to make a quick webpage with more than one for and find that answer experimentally.

Or go around looking at HTML code on already published web pages and trying to figure it out. I always thought that was fun.

http://www.w3schools.com/

This is generally the site I turn to when I want information on the basic web standards like html, css, xhtml, etc. I'd definitely recommend reading through it to get answers to these sorts of questions.
