I use the following jQuery (1.4) code to test whether cookies are accepted:

$.get("http://localhost:8080/cookietester/cookietester", function(data) {
    if (data == "false")
        document.write("Activate cookies!");
    else if(data == "true")
        document.write("ok");
});

But the browser signals that it doesn’t stop page loading. Google Chrome 5 doesn’t execute the script properly and doesn’t display anything.

Is something wrong with this code?

    You can’t use document.write in that scenario (actually I avoid it whenever possible), instead use .append() to add a message to the <body>, like this:

    $.get("http://localhost:8080/cookietester/cookietester", function(data) {
  if (data == "false")
    $(document.body).append("Activate cookies!");
  else if(data == "true")
    $(document.body).append("ok");
});

    Or, you could just alert it:

    $.get("http://localhost:8080/cookietester/cookietester", function(data) {
  if (data == "false")
    alert("Activate cookies!");
  else if(data == "true")
    alert("ok");
});
