Question

trying to get the value of a cookie if its set and update a div with the cookie value, otherwise generate a random number between 80-100, set that as the cookie, and then update the div.

im getting the error:

Object function (a,b){return new e.fn.init(a,b,h)} has no method 'cookie' 

heres my code:

$(document).ready(function(){

    var thecounter = '';

    if ($.cookie('thecounter') == null)
    {
        thecounter = $.randomBetween(80, 100);
        $.cookie('thecounter', thecounter, { path: '/' });
    }
    else
    {
        thecounter = $.cookie('thecounter');
    }

    $('dd-counter-num').html(thecounter);

    setTimeout(newtime, 5000);

});

function newtime () {

    var newtime = $.cookie('thecounter') + $.randomBetween(1, 2);
    $.cookie('thecounter', newtime, { path: '/' }); 
    $('dd-counter-num').html(newtime);
    setTimeout(newtime, 5000);

}

There is no cookie method in standard jQuery.

Perhaps the code requires on jquery-cookie or another plugin?

Happy coding.
