MooTools provides us with Cookie, a global object that provides us with a clean and simple access to the cookies on our web browser.
The following code sample shows how simple it is to create a new cookie and how simple it is to read the value of a cookie that already exists.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>cookie demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mootools-core-1.4.5-full-nocompat.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveCookie()
{
Cookie.write(
document.myform.savekey.value,
document.myform.savevalue.value,
{duration:1}
);
}
function getCookie()
{
var key = document.myform.getkey.value;
document.myform.getvalue.value = Cookie.read(key);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform">
<p>
key: <input type="text" name="savekey"/>
<br/>
value: <input type="text" name="savevalue" />
<br/>
<input type="button" value="save" onClick="saveCookie()"/>
</p>
<p>
key: <input type="text" name="getkey"/>
<br/>
<input type="button" value="get" onClick="getCookie()" />
<br/>
<input type="text" name="getvalue"/>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
