\<SCRIPT language=“JavaScript”\>

function WriteFile(name, email)  
{  
var fso = new ActiveXObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”);  
var fh = fso.CreateTextFile(“D:\logfile.dat”, true);  
fh.WriteLine(name);  
fh.WriteLine(email);  
fh.Close();  
}

function sendtopage(whatpage)  
{  
alert(whatpage)  
window.location.href =whatpage;  
return true;  
}

redirectTime = “3000”;  
redirectURL = “[http://www.cnn.com](http://www.cnn.com)”;  
function timedRedirect() {  
alert(‘Thank you’);  
setTimeout(“location.href = redirectURL;”,redirectTime);  
}

function getCookie(c\_name)  
{  
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");  
for (i=0;i\<ARRcookies.length;i++)  
{  
x=ARRcookies\*.substr(0,ARRcookies\*.indexOf("="));  
y=ARRcookies\*.substr(ARRcookies\*.indexOf("=")+1);  
x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");  
if (x==c\_name)  
{  
return unescape(y);  
}  
}  
}

function setCookie(c\_name,value,exdays)  
{  
var exdate=new Date();  
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);  
var c\_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? “” : “; expires=”+exdate.toUTCString());  
document.cookie=c\_name + “=” + c\_value;  
}

function checkEmailCookie()  
{  
var email=getCookie(“email”);  
if (email!=null && email!="")  
{  
alert("Email: " + email);  
}  
}

function checkNameCookie()  
{  
var name=getCookie(“name”);  
if (name!=null && name!="")  
{  
alert("Name: " + name);  
}  
}
