Question

This is the code that I’ve got:

var tmp_kana_type = "hiragana";
var tmp_kana_set = "monographs";

cookie_symbols = {"symbols": []};

for (kana_row=0; kana_row<10; kana_row++) {
    for (kana_column=0; kana_column<5; kana_column++) {

        var tmp_JSON  = {
                "kana_type": tmp_kana_type,
                "kana_set": tmp_kana_set,
                "kana_row": kana_row,
                "kana_column": kana_column,
                "selected": 0,
                "correct": 0,
                "total": 0
        };

        cookie_symbols.symbols.push(tmp_JSON);
    }
}

console.log(cookie_symbols); // works

var to_string = JSON.stringify(cookie_symbols);
console.log(to_string); // works

var to_json = JSON.parse(to_string);
console.log(to_json); // works



$.cookie("test_cookie1", "test string"); 
console.log($.cookie("test_cookie1")); // works

$.cookie("test_cookie2", JSON.stringify(cookie_symbols)); // does not work (why?)
console.log($.cookie("test_cookie2")); // does not work (null)
console.log(JSON.parse($.cookie("test_cookie2"))); // does not work (null)

JSON.stringfy() is not working with $.cookie() while I believed it should. Did I do something wrong, and how do I fix or make this work? I found this answer, and it’s pretty much what I did too, but in my case it doesn’t work for some reason. I am using this jQuery cookie plugin.

Answer 1

I believe is your main issue is that you’ve exceed the maximum cookie file size.
