set a cookie clientside on Textbox onChange

Hi,
I have a textbox, I need to set a cookie to the value of the textbox... when
textbox.Text changes.

How do I do this using clientSide script (javascript) only.

I do not want to post back to the server and then set the cookie using
server script.

Any help is very appretiated (I did search the internet)...

Pretty standard pattern, ASP.NET or otherwise.

Hi Nalaka,

I think the article Gregory provided is quite good and useful.

BTW, client-side inserted cookie may escape some special characters. When
reading them in server-side code, you may take care on this, you can use
the UrlDecode method to decode them if the cookie(added at client-side) is
escaped:

foreach (string key in Request.Cookies.Keys)
{
Response.Write("<br/>" + key + ": " +
Server.UrlDecode(Request.Cookies[key].Value));
}
