I have a simple html page and a js script: HTML page:
<body>
<input type="text" id = "content">
<button type="button" id="btn"> Save </button>
</body>
Javascript:
$(document).ready( function(){
var cook = $.cookie('theName', { path: '/'});
if ( cook )
alert(cook);
$('#btn').click(function(){
var theName = $('#content').val();
alert(v.val());
$.cookie('theName', theName, { path: '/', expires: 7 });
alert("Cookie done");
});
});
Libraries:
<script type="text/javascript" src=".9.1.min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src = ".cookie.js"> </script>
It should save my name and when I hit refresh to show my name. The only problem is when I try to read the cookie, instead of name shows %5Bobject%20Object%5D.
Thank you.

- Yes, but then 'cook' is undefined. – Alin Ciocan Commented May 3, 2013 at 9:50
-
%5Bobject%20Object%5Dis[object Object], i.e. the default string representation of an object. – Felix Kling Commented May 3, 2013 at 9:55 - I agree. But how can I get the value of the cookie. – Alin Ciocan Commented May 3, 2013 at 9:58

Reset to default 4do:
$(document).ready( function(){
var cook = $.cookie('theName'); //get from cookie if exists
if ( cook )
alert(cook);
$('#but').click(function(){
var theName = $('#content').val();
alert(theName);
$.cookie('theName', theName, { expires: 7, path: '/' }); //set the cookie
alert("Cookie done");
});
});
Updated:
try adding:
$.cookie.raw = true;
var cook = $.cookie('theName', { path: '/'});
This overwrites the cookie with the string representation of { path: '/'}.
To actually retrieve the existing cookie just pass the name:
var cook = $.cookie('theName');
There is no point in passing the path anyway - if you are outside the path for which the cookie is set you simply don't get it at all.
Try This.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function getCookie(c_name)
{
var c_value = document.cookie;
var c_start = c_value.indexOf(" " + c_name + "=");
if (c_start == -1)
{
c_start = c_value.indexOf(c_name + "=");
}
if (c_start == -1)
{
c_value = null;
}
else
{
c_start = c_value.indexOf("=", c_start) + 1;
var c_end = c_value.indexOf(";", c_start);
if (c_end == -1)
{
c_end = c_value.length;
}
c_value = unescape(c_value.substring(c_start,c_end));
}
return c_value;
}
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}
function checkCookie()
{
var username=getCookie("username");
if (username!=null && username!="")
{
alert("Wele again " + username);
}
else
{
username=prompt("Please enter your name:","");
if (username!=null && username!="")
{
setCookie("username",username,365);
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="checkCookie()">
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps.
