Cookie Always Null?

I want to check if the cookie is existing or not The problem is it is always returning to null if i check it if ($.cookie('cookieCreditDash') == null) { //CODE ALWAYS ENTER HER

Solution 1:

What is $.cookie? a jquery plugin?

Did you try using document.cookie for setting cookie instead of $.cookie.

Solution 2:

As I can see from documentation jquery.cookie.js: expires is number of days

if ($.cookie('cookieCreditDash') == null)
{
     $('div').text("no cookie");
     $.cookie("cookieCreditDash", 'test', {expires: 1});
} else{
     var data =  $.cookie("cookieCreditDash");
     $('div').text("with cookie: " + data);        
}

Solution 3:

Looks like you are using jQuery cookie plugin.

Besides cookie expiry issues, you might also want to check your cookie path, making it available to all paths on your domain. You can do so by writing following code,

$.cookie("cookieCreditDash", "Value", { path: '/' });

Without {path: '/'}, cookie path will be limited to current path level only.
