i don't know if this is what you mean,
however.
the following code is bug free, as far as i remember.
it is taken from the tutorial about js.cookies on
www.webmonkey.com.
i had to correct some bugs to make it bullet proof.
in any case i am not using js.cookies any more.
they are incredibly more complicated then using asp.cookies.
if you want such code i would be more than happy to deliver it to you.l
enjoy
