$.cookie is not a function typeerror

Question

What does this error mean and how do I fix it?

TypeError: $.cookie is not a function
[Break On This Error]   

$($.cookie(\"inputFocus\")).focus()


        

Answer 1

It means the library that's supposed to have that function is not loaded. But you can set a cookie using javascript, here:

Answer 2

You need to include the jQuery cookie plugin before this code snippet.

Answer 3

That error means exactly what it says: $.cookie does not exist.

jQuery core does not include anything related to cookies. There are several cookie libraries that add a cookie function to $. You need to add one to your page first.

Answer 4

Including jquery file twice(multiple time) also gave same issue in my case.
