JavaScript Notebook

This script arose out of my boredom awhile ago. I said to myself, "I need to make a script to test my ability to use cookies." So, I made this notebook. This page can be used to take short text notes, and save them to your hard drive. It does this using what are known as cookies. A cookie is a small piece of text information that a web page temporarily saves on your computer. It can later be retrieved, but only by the same site which put it there in the first place. This is how amazon.com, for example, can "remember" that you're signed on. If you have problems with this notebook, make sure that cookies are enabled by your browser.

Why would you need this notebook? Maybe you wanted to save something on your hard drive in a non-obvious place, so that people searching for text files wouldn't find it. I don't know. However you want to use it.

Important note: Since this information is stored in cookie files, if you delete temporary internet files, or some such, you will lose this data. I suggest you store it in a less volatile medium if this is a problem for you.
