I had the same issue here. The formhelper indeed is quite eager, but
prefixing your cookienames with a special name, solves it. I fixed it
by using the following jQuery plugins, referenced like this in my
code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="$siteRoot/Content/js/
jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="$siteRoot/Content/js/
jquery.saveToCookie.js"></script>
Notice that there are 2 plugins available for jQuery: 'cookies' and
'cookie'. It seems the last one, which I used eventually, is more
popular, since more plugins are written based on it.
The 'saveToCookie' jQuery plugin is based on 'cookie' and
automatically handles restoring form values from cookies and saving
them "on change".
In my view, I used this:
$(document).ready(function(){
//Enable all inputs of elements with class 'cookiebindform' to
remember and store their values
$('.cookiebindform :input').saveToCookie({prefix:'cookie-'});
});
And that's it... Hope this helps too.
