what i intend is to have a link, and when it is clicked, the javascript create a cookie

Code:

HTML Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick"CookieClick()">gooooogle</a>

Hi
function set_cookie ( name, value, exp_y, exp_m, exp_d, path, domain, secure )
{
var cookie_string = name + "=" + escape ( value );

if ( exp_y )
{
var expires = new Date ( exp_y, exp_m, exp_d );
cookie_string += "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString();
}

if ( path )
cookie_string += "; path=" + escape ( path );

if ( domain )
cookie_string += "; domain=" + escape ( domain );

if ( secure )
cookie_string += "; secure";

document.cookie = cookie_string;
}

set_cookie ( "username", "John Smith", 2003, 01, 15 );

Try like this
