As far as your cookies situation , might I suggest
the HTML5 localStorage feature.
I've found the feature to be a lot more useful
than traditional cookies.
Of course one of the things I did early on
was to add a couple of extra functions to the storage prototype,
so that I could more easily stash objects.
Storage.prototype.setObject = function(key, value)
{
this.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value));
}
Storage.prototype.getObject = function(key)
{
var szItem =this.getItem(key) ;// Attempt to fetch the
object from local storage
if(szItem ==null)return null ;// If null , bail
try {
var oResult= JSON.parse(this.getItem(key))
return oResult ;// Parse the string to an object.
}catch(oError){
return null;
}// End Try/Catch
}
