Use a cookie value in a getJson call

Question

I want to use a getJson call like this"

$.getJSON("cfc/getMember.cfc?method=getUser&returnformat=json&queryFormat=column",{"memberID":userID}, function(res,code)

the userID is stored as a cookie - so I thought I'd simply use:

function checkCookie(){ 
 var userID=getCookie("UID");
}

Now (as I'm sure you cal tell) I'm new to javascript so that might be my problem - but I'm after some advice on how to use a cookie value in the getJSON call.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Assuming your getCookie() function is already defined and correctly retrieves your cookies, then all you need to do is define the userID before you make the call to $.getJSON:

var userID=getCookie("UID");
$.getJSON("cfc/getMember.cfc?method=getUser&returnformat=json&queryFormat=column", {"memberID":userID}, function(res,code) {});
