Question

I’m having some trouble deleting a cookie containing multiple values – the values are split by a (*).

If the cookie contains only one (1) value I can easily delete it, but as soon it has more than one I’ve to hit the button two times in order to delete the cookie… – do I need to define the cookie value in the script, and if so, how…?

$('a.home').click(function (e) {
  $.cookie('breadcrumbs', null, {path:'/'});
});

I assume you’re using jquery.cookie.js. If so, it works fine here in Fx 9.0.1

$.cookie('foo', 'bar*baz');
//"foo=bar*baz"

$.cookie('foo');
//"bar*baz"

$.cookie('foo', null);
//"foo=null; expires=Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:34:16 GMT"

$.cookie('foo');
//null (actual null, not string "null")
