Question

I cannot get this code to work I must be missing something pretty simple. I am trying to check to see if a Cookie exists, if it does {do nothing} if it doesn\'t {create it}

You can set the cookie after having checked if it exists with a value.

 $(document).ready(function(){            
      if ($.cookie('cookie')) { //if cookie isset
         //do stuff here like hide a popup when cookie isset
         //document.getElementById("hideElement").style.display = "none";
      }else{
         var CookieSet = $.cookie('cookie', 'value'); //set cookie
      }       
 });
