Hi,
may be a fairly redundant question, as i realize this is not much of a
problem as it is lack of knowledge and capability to find some useful
information on the net;
setting a cookie is easy enough, as i did:
cookies["survey_#{@survey.id}"] = {:value =>
''abc''}
which works fine, as i checked my browser, and it saved it perfectly.
i was wondering how i check if the user has that cookie or not.
say, in the rhtml i want to block some code if the user has this cookie,
namely:
<% if cookie["survey_#{@survey.id}"] -%>
..you can''t reach this, you already did the survey..
<% else -%>
...blockofcode
<% end -%>
but unfortunately the cookie[...] doesn''t work. how do i check if a
user
has a cookie set in his browser or not?
many thanks for an answer or a lead;
thx,
harp

The main problem is that the ''cookies'' method isn''t accessible from views. You can only access it from your controller. So in your controller, write something like: @completed = cookies["survey_#{@survey.id}"] And then in your view you can do <% if @completed -%> Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
