not able to set a cookie using jquery

Question

I am trying to set a cookie using the following code using jquery and qtip. As you can see, when this 'beforeShow' event is triggered I need to set a cookie. I can confirm the event is being triggered as I see the alert although I'm not able to see the cookie being set? Should this code work or am I missing something?
Many thanks,

        api: {
            beforeShow: function() {
                if(document.getElementById('CheckMessage')) {
                    alert("");
                    $.cookie("MyTestExampleCookie", "1");
                    return false;
                }
            }
        },

Answer 1

Did you install jQuery cookie?

Answer 2

You don't need a cookie unless you need to remember the value after the user has navigated away from the page. If you just want to know if a particular event has been triggered, set a normal variable.

If you do need to use cookies and manipulate these client-side, it is easier with a plugin as suggested above (but not absolutely necessary).

Answer 3

document.cookie = ("MyTestExampleCookie=1");

虽然使用一些cookie lib更合适
