jQuery - saving/using cookies
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:35 am
Hi
I am currently developing a shopping cart solution and I have a field, which is used for tax.
What I'm looking to do, is when the user selects the checkbox field for tax, then this is stored in the cookie, so when they go to other pages and then return to the cart, then these fields are checked.
I am using http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie to achieve this.
I can create the cookie for the checkboxes, but I am struggling to then check the cookie and if it was for a checkbox, then set the checkbox as 'checked'.
I also need, the deletion of cookies. When the user unchecks the box, to the call something like $.cookie("vat_1", null)
I have the following code so far:
All help is muchly appreciated.
Thanks

$(document).ready( function() {
$('input:checkbox[name="<?php echo $prod; ?>"]').click(function() {
var name = $(this).attr("name");
var value = $(this).val();
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (30 * 60 * 1000));
$.cookie(name, value, { expires: date });//Set the expires time as per your requirement.
cookie = $.cookie(name);
alert(cookie);
});
});
Thanks
