 I am using Javascript to read a cookie. Now,  I want  to
pass the  
value  to  TT2.
How to pass javascript(vari)  to TT2(rate_email)  ?

In side  Template
[%- rate_email = PROCESS READCOOKIE name="name of
cookie" -%]


Block

[% BLOCK READCOOKIE %]
<script language="javascript">
<!---
function readcookie(name) {

        var name = name + "=";
        var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
        var value="";

        for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
                var c = ca[i];
                while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c =
c.substring(1,c.length);
                if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) 
value=c.substring(name.length,c.length);
        }
        if(! value) value=null;
}
var vari=readcookie([%- name -%]);
-->
</script>

Javascript is processed in the browser (client-side), not by
TT(server-side). You should be accessing the cookie via your
backend/TT without the use of javascript.

The TT can place the value into a hidden field or generate a
snippet
of JavaScript code to populate a variable....one of these
should do:

<input type="hidden" name="something"
value="[% something %]" />
<script>var something='[% something
%]';</script>

Oh sorry I read the original question backward.

Your JavaScript could modify the value of the hidden field,
and then
submit it as form data.  But that has nothing to do with TT;
it's
basic CGI.

Or get clever with Ajax if you like, I suppose.
