Is there a way to set a CFCOOKIE without a page reload when a user clicks a button/link/whatever? For example, an 'Add to cart' link.

Thanks!

Correct answer OldNapkin

Got it figured out. Here is an example in case anyone else would happen to need it.

A couple of points.

1) I don't think there should be a forward slash in the bind expression.
2) Your client code suggests the client determines the cookie value. Isn't that bad?
3) Though using 'value' as an attribute of <div> might work, 'value' is not an attribute of the tag.
4) Why all the HTML? Isn't something like the following sufficient?

Dstharding, then your Javascript guess is good (document.cookie="username=BKBK; loggedIn=yes";)

BKBK, I'm pretty sure OldNapkin is saying he/she wants to use ajax remoting on the page or something so that the entire page doesnt reload, but cfcookie doesnt work until after the page reloads...

That is exactly what I want to do. Can I use AJAX to call a Cookie-setting CFC with a click?
