The JavaScript code of the HEAD Area

The JavaScript code of the HEAD Area

This JavaScript needs to be customized in three places:

1. Specify a name for the cookie. The name needs to be something no other cookie on your web site uses. Otherwise, the cookies could overwrite each other.

2. Specify how many days the cookie shall exist on the visitor's computer.

3. If your separate forms have different field names for the same information, you specify those here. This allows fields with different names to pre-fill the information.

The example page demonstrates the above.
