Hello FahdSanaullah,

$(document).ready(function() { var val = ($("#value").val()); $.cookie('value',value ); alert($.cookie('value')); });

I guess this code will help you out to store the cookie value in variable "val".

I guess following would work.

JavaScript

var val = value;

[Edit]

JavaScript

ec.get("id", function(value) { var val = value; alert("Cookie value is " + value) });

Please elaborate?

I have updated the answer. :) Is that what you need?
In case you need something else, please reply with your query.

That's great. If you could just please tell me how to be able avail this variable after this function, how do I do it?
Like I write this:

ec.get("id", function(value) { var val = value; });
alert("Cookie value is " + val);

But it doesn't work :/

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 14-Jan-14 10:24am

For that you have to change its scope to Global. Declare it outside the function like...

var val;

ec.get("id", function(value) { val = value; });
alert("Cookie value is " + val);

FahdSanaullah 14-Jan-14 10:30am

I appreciate your help, but now the alert box says "Cookie value is undefined" which means it's not working :(

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 14-Jan-14 10:38am

Okay, that means it doesn't go inside the function, is it? Are you sure?
If that won't go inside the function, then it will show undefined.

FahdSanaullah 14-Jan-14 10:39am

Yeah, sure.

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 14-Jan-14 10:44am

Then it should work. Anyway, can you show me the full code?

<html>

<head><title>There I said it</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject-2.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="evercookie.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

<script>

var ec = new evercookie();

//set a cookie "id" to "12345"
// usage: ec.set(key, value)

var val;

ec.get("id", function(value) { val = value; });
alert("Cookie value is " + val);

</script>

". $row['id']. " <br/><br/> ". $row['username']. " - ". $row['msg']. " <br/><br/>". $row['likes']. "</div>";
}

?>

</body>
</html>

Do one thing. Store that to some hidden field in the page.

ec.get("id", function(value) { document.getElementById('hdnField').value = value; });
alert(document.getElementById('hdnField').value);

In page, declare one hidden field like...
<input type="hidden" id="hdnField" name="hdnField" value="" />

FahdSanaullah 14-Jan-14 13:28pm

Had the same idea.
Thanks a lot! :)

Glad to hear that. :)

Keep coding. :)

Thanks,
