Question

I’m trying to use the JQuery cookies library http://code.google.com/p/cookies/ But am not able to set key value pairs within the cookie. I can’t see how in the documentation, does anyone know how?

Thanks

Check out the JSON example in the link you referenced.

//JSON 
var jimData = {id: 1, name: 'jim'}; 
$.cookies.set( 'userdata', jimData ); //A cookie by the name 'userdata' now exists with a serialized copy of jimData 

var userData = $.cookies.get( 'userdata' ); //A variable named 'userData' now holds the unserialized object--should be identical to the variable 'jimData' 

So, userData should now have properties id with value 1 and name with value 'jim'.
