Some suggestions on cookie script

[Birdman]

Once again, thanks to all of the helpful people here. I will due my duty in the future, when I know enough to answer. Anyway, I'm writing my first cookie script and I'm not that great at JS but I have a decent understanding, I think.

question1 = sending_info_from_form(arguments, or_document.form.name)

[Birdman]

Ok, that was pretty stupid. But seriously, if I'm using a form, should I send the info(from body to function) using arguments or should I get the info by using document.form_name.input_name.value?

To save typing, use the this keyword. If the <form> tag looks like this:

<form onsubmit="return process(this);">

then the entire form will be passed to the function, which would look like this:

function process(f){
doSomethingWith(f.firstName.value);
// instead of writing
// doSomethingWith(document.form_name.firstName.value);
}
