Examples

Set a cookie by clicking on the button, reload the page and click the "Get Cookie" button to check whether the cookie got set.

Note: cookies must be enabled for this to work ;)

<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dijit.form.Button"); // this is there only to make things look fancy
dojo.require("dojo.cookie");

setCookie = function(){
  dojo.cookie("favouriteDish", "Nudels", {expires: 5});
};

getCookie = function(){
  alert("The value of the cookie is: "+dojo.cookie("favouriteDish"));
};
</script>

<script type="text/javascript"> dojo.require("dijit.form.Button"); // this is there only to make things look fancy dojo.require("dojo.cookie"); setCookie = function(){ dojo.cookie("favouriteDish", "Nudels", {expires: 5}); }; getCookie = function(){ alert("The value of the cookie is: "+dojo.cookie("favouriteDish")); }; </script>

<button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" onClick="setCookie();">Set Cookie</button> <button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" onClick="getCookie();">Get Cookie</button>
