Question

I am using Jquery Cookie but am having difficulty setting and retrieving the info.

What I have so far is:

 <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/jquery.cookie.js"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
        var cookiedate = new Date();
        cookiedate.setTime(cookiedate.getTime() + (60 * 60 * 1000));
        $.cookie("mycookie", "checked", { expires: cookiedate, path: '/' });
        console.log(cookiedate);
          alert( $.cookie("mycookie") );
              });
    </script>

But it just isnt working.

Can anyone help me out to find out what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Answer 1

jquery.Cookie handles the dates for you. Just feed it the number of days you want the cookie to be valid for:

 $(function() {
    $.cookie("mycookie", "checked", { expires: 365, path: '/' }); //valid for a year
    alert( $.cookie("mycookie") );
  });

P.S. Just in case you are using Chrome and are testing locally – Chrome doesnt support local cookies – Upload it to a server.
