How to make sure that the cookie before the split is not null value?


function StateSuggestions() {
var oldCookie=readCookie('search');
var oldCookieArray = new Array();
*oldCookieArray = oldCookie.split(',');*
this.states = oldCookieArray;
};

this should work..

function StateSuggestions() {
var oldCookie=readCookie('search');
if (oldCookie != '') {  
  var oldCookieArray = new Array();
  *oldCookieArray = oldCookie.split(',');*
  this.states = oldCookieArray;
} else {
document.write("Empty!");
}
};

thanks

and exactly what does it do?

 

[Xyzer]

hey,.
quick reply there,

what it does, if its not empty it will continue and if it is empty it will say 'empty!' w/o the quotes.

function StateSuggestions()
{
	var oldCookie = readCookie('search');
	var oldCookieArray = new Array();

	if (oldCookie != '' && oldCookie.substr(0, oldCookie.indexOf(",")) != '')
	{
		oldCookieArray = oldCookie.split(',');
		this.states = oldCookieArray;
	}
	else
	{
		this.states = new Array();
	}
};

little rusty w/js, and untested, but should do what you're looking for.

I could also be overthinking what you meant, and localhost's could be what you're looking for. :p
