Reset to default 8What about using the Cookie plugin for jQuery?
$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value'); // Create a session cookie ("the_cookie") and set its value to "the_value"
$.cookie('chocolate_chip_cookie', 'the_value', { // create a cookie with all available options
expires: 7, // expires in seven days
path: '/', // accessible from the whole site...
domain: 'jquery.',
secure: true // ...but only on a secure connection
});
$.cookie('the_cookie', null); // delete the session cookie
You can acplish this by:
- Setting a cookie.
- Storing the status in a session.
You can do 1. with JavaScript but also with PHP. 2. can only be acplished server-side with e.g. PHP.
