Hi David,

You could set the cookie using jQuery on the submission of the form.

Thanks

Apologies for the delay. I thought I'd written a response.

The .submit of jQuery doesn't seem to be called when the form submits. I have a feeling that contour already add javascript to the submit event which is causing the jQuery to fail??

(I've created a template called "SubmitForm" that loads the jQuery from MS)

I've tried all sorts of combinations of form name to try and get this damn thing to work:

<script>
    $("form").submit(function() {
 alert("test");
 $.cookie("bondholderform", "1", { expires: 7 });
   return false;
      }
</script>

I've tried "aspnetForm" etc etc.

Am I being thick?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

Try doing it on the click of the button instead of the submit (not tested fully)

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#form").live('click',function() {
        $.cookie("bondholderform", "1", { expires: 7 });
      });
});
</script>

This should allow the adding of the cookie and then the submission of the form as the return false will stop this.

Hope this helps

Tom

Hi Tom,

Sorry for the delay.

I tried your suggestion but it seems as though that code executes as soon as you click anything in the form - so I don't even have chance to fill in the textboxes.

The form submit button is rendered by the asp.net engine and gets called something silly "ctl001ctl001ctl001..." etc.

Am I the only person that has this need?

Thanks again, David

PS. I added "return false" just as a test to see if that helped my cause

Hi Tom,

You set me on the right track!! This seems to do the trick....

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".contourSubmit").live('click',function() {
        $.cookie("bondholderform", "1", { expires: 7 });
      });
});
</script>

Hi David,

You can also use the Contour event model to set a cookie on submit (trough c# code not jquery).

There is an example here: http://www.nibble.be/?p=81  (step 3)

using System;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Services;
 
namespace Contour.Addons.ScoreCalclulator
{
    public class SetCookieOnSubmit: umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase {
 
        public SetCookieOnSubmit()
        {
            RecordService.RecordSubmitted +=
                new EventHandler<Umbraco.Forms.Core.RecordEventArgs>(RecordService_RecordSubmitted); 
        }
 
        void RecordService_RecordSubmitted(object sender, Umbraco.Forms.Core.RecordEventArgs e)
        {
            umbraco.library.setCookie(e.Form.Id.ToString(), "1"); 
        }
 
 
    }
}

Hi Tim,

Thanks for that, again that seems to work also :)

However, once I've completed the form I want to be redirected to the QueryString provided. So when I get the form to say thanks for submitting I check in jQuery the cookie existance and then redirect using document.location...

This still feels like a Fudge to me.

Thanks

David
