Question

Hi i try to do this with the cookies plugin in jquery

$.cookie('XXX', 'the_value', 22);
alert($.cookie('XXX'));

But the alert output null (i tried this in local)

Why?

Plugin is there: https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie/

You need to set the expiration:

$.cookie('XXX', 'the_value', { expires: 22 });

Read this article:

$.cookie("example", "foo");

This is a session cookie which is set for the current path level and will be destroyed when the user exits the browser. To make the same cookie last for e.g. 7 days do this:

$.cookie("example", "foo", { expires: 7 });
