I want get the value of CustomerID cookie. Using jquery I wrote this:

$.cookie('CustomerID',{ path:'/'});

But I am not getting the value for cookie - it is showing me blank.

How can I get the CustomerId cookie?

Answer 1

What you did is setting a cookie and not getting a cookie.

try var customerId = $.cookie('CustomerID');

or maybe you are trying to get the cookie from the root path but it's actually lives at a lower path..

Check out where you save the cookie!
