Cookies Anyone?

Looking back in my code I found an object that may be useful for some of you out there. This object is made to work with Cookies (and a cofee cup too! -stupid joke I know).

We all know (Javascript programmers) how easy is to work with Cookies and for most of you this object is nothing spectacular to develop but if it saves programming time for you I have reach my goal.

No more talking, here's the code:


var Cookie = {
set: function(name, value, daysToExpire) {
var expire = '';
if (daysToExpire != undefined) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (86400000 * parseFloat(daysToExpire)));
expire = '; expires=' + d.toGMTString();
}
return (document.cookie = escape(name) + '=' + escape(value || '') + expire);
},
get: function(name) {
var cookie = document.cookie.match(new RegExp('(^|;)\s*' + escape(name) + '=([^;\s]*)'));
return (cookie ? unescape(cookie[2]) : null);
},
erase: function(name) {
var cookie = Cookie.get(name) || true;
Cookie.set(name, '', -1);
return cookie;
},
accept: function() {
if (typeof navigator.cookieEnabled == 'boolean') {
return navigator.cookieEnabled;
}
Cookie.set('_test', '1');
return (Cookie.erase('_test') === '1');
}
};
