I want to the user to select an option from a drop down box and have the value of the selected option be stored as a cookie, and then that value is set to the page background, or the gallery background, or both, dependent on the button the user picks. This doesn’t appear to be working, however.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#set_cookie').click(function() {
var color = $('#set_cookie').val();
$.cookie('test_cookie', color);
$('#set_page').click(function() {
$('body').css('background', color);
});
$('#set_gallery').click(function() {
$('#gallery').css('background', color);
});
$('#set_both').click(function() {
$('body').css('background', color);
$('#gallery').css('background', color);
});
});
});
Included scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/scripts.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/shadowbox-3.0.3/shadowbox.js"></script>

<p>Please select a background color for either the page's background, the gallery's background, or both.</p>
