Check on every page to ensure user has validated as being over 18
- by liquilife
Hi Guys and Girls. I'm working on a website (tobacco related) that requires all visitors to validate they are over 18 before they can view the site. I have a form in place that validates the age but I'm at a dead end. How can I use this to store a cookie that they've passed the test and do a check on all pages to see if this check has already been passed or not? Any suggestions and help would be hugely appreciated! Below is my validation form:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Validate</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
function checkAge()
{
var min_age = 18;
var year = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["year"].value);
var month = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["month"].value) - 1;
var day = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["day"].value);
var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
var today = new Date;
if ( (today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0) {
alert("You are too young to enter this site!");
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
</script>
