Question

I need to keep a counter for a game that I am making. Each time they win a game, I want to add one to the counter. However, each time they win, the page is refreshed to start a new game. Is there a way to keep this counter updated even if the page is reloaded?

Answer 1

You can use cookies, here’s a very simple example with jQuery cookie plugin:

Code: https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie

Usage examples: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/jquery-cookies/

Set cookie:

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

Get cookie value:

alert( $.cookie("example") );

Very clean and compact 🙂
