looking at your code above notice the color changes where the variables are all messed up by incorrect quotes

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="coomang.js"></script>
<title>JS COOKIE MANAGER</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="coomang.css"> </link>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function loadcontent()
{
var x= "<div class="general">";

first error shows in lline 9, cant include dquotes inside dquotes unless they are escaped use var x = "<div class='general'>"; all the way thru the file, fix the quotes
to prevent this recurring every time, get a decent editor with code highlighting, which will show you your errors, in the same way, by color changes
notepad+ notepad2 spring to mind
its a simple error that everyone makes the first few times

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="coomang.js"></script>
<title>JS COOKIE MANAGER</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="coomang.css"> </link>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function loadcontent()
{
var x = "<div class='general'>";

thanks for your help. that worked :)
but what do u mean "unless they are escaped use"

Member Avatar for almostbob

in javascript & other scripting languages there is a character sequence used to tell the interpreter that the following control character is not to be treated as a control character,, the escape code
in javascript and php it is the backslash \
in ansi screen code from dos days, it is $e[ (actually it isnt bad, it was really hard to type THAT by accident)
to get a backslash in javascript you have to put in two backslashes, the first one to say 'ignore the following treat it as text'

var x = "<div class='general'>"; // works
var x = "<div class="general">"; // fails
var x = "<div class=\"general\">"; // works ::escaped dquotes are output as text not as delimiting the variable

other examples /n is a newline character, if you wish to include "divided by n" in some algebraic sense, it would have to be \/n
