Cookie Programming In Javascript by Nobody: 7:56am On Jul 06, 2015

In 2009, I created a thread on cookies - https://www.nairaland.com/215381/how-store-data-javascript-javascript#3309239
It helped a lot of people, but due to questions a lot of people were asking, I just created another sample code to use the same cookie class (I did not modifiy the original class mind you).

<html>
<title>My Great Cookie Example</title>
<script>
/*
Cookie class written by Anthony Ogundipe from www.facebook.com/dhtml5
*/
function jcookies() {}
jcookies.prototype.online=function() {return location.href.indexOf('http')==-1 ? false : true;}
jcookies.prototype.set=function (cname,cvalue) {
if(this.online()) {document.cookie = cname + '=' + escape(cvalue) + '; expires=Mon, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 UTC;path=/;';}
else {document.cookie = cname + '=' + escape(cvalue) + '; expires=Mon, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 UTC;';}
}
jcookies.prototype.erase=function(cname) {
if(this.online()) {document.cookie = cname + '=' + '' + '; expires=Mon, 31 Dec 1899 23:59:59 UTC;path=/;';}
else {document.cookie = cname + '=' + "" + '; expires=Mon, 31 Dec 1899 23:59:59 UTC;';}
}
jcookies.prototype.get=function(sName) { var aCookie = document.cookie.split('; ');
for (var i=0; i < aCookie.length; i++) {
var aCrumb = aCookie[i].split('=');
if (sName == aCrumb[0])
return unescape(aCrumb[1]);
}
return '';
}
//cookie class stops

var cook=new jcookies();

function savex() {
cook.set('meal',document.getElementById('food').value);
alert('Information saved');
}

function loadx() {
document.getElementById('food').value=cook.get('meal');
}

function erasex() {
document.getElementById('food').value='';
cook.erase('meal');
alert('Information erased');
}

</script>

This page gives you an example of how cookies work. <br/>
Step 1: You can type any text you like, click on save to save it to cookies.<br/>
Step 2: You can click on the load button to retrieve your cookie.<br/>
Step 3: Refresh the page (or reopen the browser), and press load again (it will still load the last value)<br/>
Step 4: You can click on the erase button to erase your cookie.<br/>
</p>

Text: <input type="text" id="food">
<input type="button" value="Save" onclick="savex()">
<input type="button" value="Load" onclick="loadx()">
<input type="button" value="Erase" onclick="erasex()">

So here it is once again. And do remember, though HTML5 has local storage, but using cookies cuts across all browsers (that have cookies enabled).

Javascript has always been my worst friend. I need to know about the jcookies class members and member functions so that I can understand the cook object. Thank you.
