Is it possible to store a javascript object (i.e. all the elements from a form and their values) in a cookie?

If not, can anyone please suggest a way of performing this task, please?? 😕

    Wow, a little bug on my
    script make me crazy, but finally it works. Look:

    <HTML>
    <SCRIPT>
    
    function customObj()
    {
    	customObj.m_value="";
    	customObj.m_text="";
    	customObj.prototype.obj2str=f_obj2str;
    	customObj.prototype.str2obj=f_str2obj;
    
    function f_obj2str()
    {
    	mytext=this.m_value + this.m_text;
    	return mytext;
    }
    
    function f_str2obj(p_txt)
    {
    	this.m_value=p_txt.substring(0,2)
    	this.m_text=p_txt.substring(2,p_txt.length)
    }
    }
    var yourname = new customObj();
    
    
    function setCookie(name, value, expire) {
    	document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) + ((expire == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expire.toGMTString()))
    }
    
    function getCookie(Name) {
    	var search = Name + "="
    
    if (document.cookie.length > 0) { 		offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
    	if (offset != -1) { 			offset += search.length
    		end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset)
    		if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length
    		return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
    	}
    } return(" ")
    }
    
    function register() {
    	var today = new Date()
    	var expires = new Date()
    
    mytext=yourname.obj2str();
    
    expires.setTime(today.getTime() + 60*60*24*365)
    setCookie("TheCoolJavaScriptPage", mytext, expires)
    }
    </SCRIPT>
    
    <BODY>
    <H1>Register Your Name with the Cookie-Meister</H1>
    <SCRIPT>
    	mytext=getCookie("TheCoolJavaScriptPage");
    	yourname.str2obj(mytext);
    
    if (mytext != " ") {
        document.write("<P>Welcome Back, ", yourname.m_text, yourname.m_value);
    } else {
    	document.write("<P>You haven't been here in the last year...");
    }
    </SCRIPT>
    
    
    <P> Enter your name. When you return to this page within a year, you will be greeted with a personalized greeting. <BR>
    <FORM name="mform" onSubmit="return false">
    Enter your name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username" SIZE= 10 ALT="Welcome"><BR>
    <INPUT TYPE="button" value="Register" onClick="yourname.m_value=13; yourname.m_text=this.form.username.value; register(); history.go(0)">
    </FORM>
    </P>
    
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    

    Put an object in cookie and read cookie in object... but to do this
    transform all in a reconvertible string.
