Display null cookie value as empty space using jquery or javascript

Question

I have stored some textbox values in cookies.

But if the textbox is blank then the cookie value will be "null".

I am assigning that cookie value to another textbox. But as the cookie value is null it shows "null" in textbox.

I want to replace this "null" with a blank space.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

First thing to do would be to modify the code that stores the cookie value so that it doesn't write null for blank textboxes. If that is not feasible, then just use javascript:

string.replace('null','')

Note that this will prevent you from having the exact literal "null" in your fields so the first alternative is preferred.
