jQuery cookie plug-in
jQuery cookie plug-in
OK, I have a show/hide script on my website for a sidebar (social network buttons) and it would be nice that the status of the sidebar stays the same, even after page reload/going to another page on the site.
I tried do this with a cookiescript that I found here on jQuery:

* @desc Create a session cookie.
* @example $.cookie('the_cookie', null);

* used when the cookie was set.
*
* @param String name The name of the cookie.
* @param String value The value of the cookie.
* @param Object options An object literal containing key/value pairs to provide optional cookie attributes.
* @option Number|Date expires Either an integer specifying the expiration date from now on in days or a Date object.
* If a negative value is specified (e.g. a date in the past), the cookie will be deleted.
* If set to null or omitted, the cookie will be a session cookie and will not be retained
* when the the browser exits.
* @option String path The value of the path atribute of the cookie (default: path of page that created the cookie).
* @option String domain The value of the domain attribute of the cookie (default: domain of page that created the cookie).
* @option Boolean secure If true, the secure attribute of the cookie will be set and the cookie transmission will
* require a secure protocol (like HTTPS).
* @type undefined

jQuery.cookie = function(name, value, options) {
if (typeof value != 'undefined') { // name and value given, set cookie
options = options || {};
if (value === null) {
value = '';
options.expires = -1;
}
var expires = '';
if (options.expires && (typeof options.expires == 'number' || options.expires.toUTCString)) {
var date;
if (typeof options.expires == 'number') {
date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (options.expires * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
} else {
date = options.expires;
}
expires = '; expires=' + date.toUTCString(); // use expires attribute, max-age is not supported by IE
}
// CAUTION: Needed to parenthesize options.path and options.domain
// in the following expressions, otherwise they evaluate to undefined
// in the packed version for some reason...
var path = options.path ? '; path=' + (options.path) : '';
var domain = options.domain ? '; domain=' + (options.domain) : '';
var secure = options.secure ? '; secure' : '';
document.cookie = [name, '=', encodeURIComponent(value), expires, path, domain, secure].join('');
} else { // only name given, get cookie
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) == (name + '=')) {
cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
};
And a custom script that some one made for me:
- $(document).ready(function(){
toggleSocialMedia();
});
function toggleSocialMedia() {
if($.cookie('socialMedia') === true) {
$("#colright").animate({marginLeft:"140px"}, 200);
$("#panel").animate({marginLeft:"0px"}, 400 );
$("#colleft").animate({width:"140px", opacity:1}, 400 );
$("#showPanel").animate({width:"0px", opacity:0}, 600).hide("slow");
$.cookie('socialMedia', true);
} else {
$("#panel").animate({marginLeft:"-140px"}, 500 );
$("#colleft").animate({width:"0px", opacity:0}, 400 );
$("#showPanel").show("normal").animate({width:"28px", opacity:1}, 200);
$.cookie('socialMedia', false);
}
}
Most important HTML:
- <div id="colleft">
<div id="buttonhead"><span id="buttontop"><span></span> Bezoek ons ook hier:</span></div>
<div id="panel">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/NotenbalkersSchaffen" target="_blank"><img src="../images/template/ytbutton.png" width="42" height="42" alt="youtube logo" title="Bezoek ons Youtube kanaal"/></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=55593256266" target="_blank"><img src="../images/template/fbbutton.png" width="42" height="42" alt="facebook logo" title="Bekijk onze Facebook groep" /></a></li>
<li><a href="http://verenigingen.nieuwsblad.be/vereniging/de-notenbalkers-0" target="_blank"><img src="../images/template/nieuwsbladbutton.png" width="42" height="42" alt="nieuwsblad logo" title="Klik door naar het nieuwsblad" /></a></li>
</ul>
<div id="hidePanel"><a href="#"> « Verberg dit venster</a></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="showPanel"><span>»</span></div>
So the thingy is, that it doesn't do what I want. The div always reloads and hides itself, but I cannot find the error in the script..
A demo can be found here. (no images uploaded)
If anyone can help, thanks thousand times and more!
