My client has a custom dhtml menu drop down that they bought. The added a login
text that is linked to the login page. What I am trying to accomplish is when
user logs into the system, write a cookie to with the first name of the User
and then change the text on the custom dhtml from "Login" to "logout" to the
javascript of the custom dhtml see below.
This is not working. when I add the below, the whole js drpdown craps out and
does not work again.

<!--- FROM THE login.cfm ---->
<!--- SET COOKIE.FNAME WITH THE USER FIRSTNAME  --->
<cfcookie name="fname" value="#memberinfo.fname#">

<!--- THIS IS THE CUSTOM JS --->
<script language="JavaScript">
function cdd_menu353871()       
       
tmpCookie = document.cookie;
tmpCookie = tmpCookie.split(";")
fcookie = 0;
               for(i=0;i<tmpCookie.length;i++)
                {
                     var c = tmpCookie<i>;
                     if(c.indexOf("fname") != -1)
                        {
                            fcookie = 1;
                            }
         }
                  if(fcookie == 1)
    {
        this.item7 = "LOGIN"
       }
    else
    {   
     this.item7 = "LOGOUT"
    }
       
       
/* If User is Logged in show Logout form */
                   if(fcookie == 1)
                    {
                           this.url7 = "<a target=_blank
class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge

">http://www.xtremeparts.net/members/main.cfm"
</a>                    }
                         else
                              {   
                                 this.url7 = "<a target=_blank
