Scoring

This exercise is worth a total of 10 points.
To receive full credit, you will need to correctly create the ASP script so that it performs its tasks. Once you have completed your answer you will submit your answer.

Background/overview

In this exercise, you will set user information based on data contained in the user registration form. In the course download, you will find a file, called signup.asp, which includes a form used to set the user's information. This form is submitted to a file named signup_confirm.asp. You will be modifying the signup_confirm.asp file to set the user information in a cookie. You will then modify the default.asp page to greet this user upon arrival at the site.

Instructions

Complete the ASP script in signup_confirm.asp to create a cookie that contains some of the user information in the registration form. You will find a comment in the file directing you as to where to insert the code. You do not need to include all the form fields in your cookie.

In order to be consistent with the rest of the project, your cookie needs to be named "SavedLogin" and contain the following subkeys 'fname', 'lname' and 'email'.
Note: the Expires property and CustId subkey of the cookie have been set for you to ensure consistency.
Your next task is to welcome the user back to your site based on the cookie information that was set in signup_confirm.asp.
Write the necessary code in the default.asp page to retrieve the 'fname' subkey of your cookie and welcome the user to the site.
Once you have your script working and welcoming the user, write or paste your answer in the text area below.
