set jquery cookie with attr(href)

Question

I have a script from this demo: tutorialzine.com

As you can see the cookie is saved as plain text. However I need it to be saved as a link. So I tried:

// If the cookie has been set in a previous page load, show it in the div directly:
if(cookie) $('.jq-text').text(cookie).show();

    $('.fields a').click(function(e){

        var text = $('#inputBox').val();

// Setting a cookie with a seven day validity:

        $.cookie('demoCookie',text,{expires: 7, path: '/', domain: 'domain.com'});

            $('.jq-text').attr('href', text).html(text);

I don't know what exactly to change in order to 'attr' the 'var text' and save it as $cookie.

please take a look at the demo: JsFiddle

Answer 1

The problem seems to be because of the variable "cookie". Renaming it to "demoCookie" seems to fix the problem...
