Question

I’ve got a cookie I am creating with jQuery named ‘testCookie’. I want to check to see if any of these VALUES DO NOT exist, if they do NOT (or are equal to or less than -1) I want to do something, the code below currently does nothing and it assumes as if the code isn’t even there and loads everything after the if-statement regardless of cookies value, any ideas?

if ($.cookie('testCookie').indexOf('shopping','pricegrabber','nextag','shopzilla')<=-1) {

Answer 1

The indexOf function can only take one string at a time. To do this you would need to have multiple clauses in your if statement, joined with &&:

if(cookieValue.indexOf('shopping') == -1 && cookieValue.indexOf('pricegrabber') == -1)

You can add all of your conditions into that if statement. The && means “if this and this” etc. etc.
