Jquery cookie monitor

Question

What\'s the best JS or JQuery-specific approach to monitor a cookie through-out the page life on the browser and trigger an event, when the cookie is\' changed?

Answer 1

There is a jQuery plugin for cookies.

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie

It is not difficult to access the cookies in a html document, they live in document.cookie.

$.cookie('cookieName':'cookieValue');


$.cookie('cookieName');


$.cookie('cookieName', null);

Additionally there are options arguments for add a cookie, e.g. expiry.

However in reply to your question, I don't actually think you can apply a event listener on to cookies unfortunately.
