integrating jQuery Cookie

Question

Hi i have this pseudo code:

if(cookie set){
    $("#notification").hide();
}
else {
    $("#notification").show();
}

How can i integrate the jQuery Cookie plugin, so if it finds a cookie then it doesnt show the #notification?

Answer 1

if ($.cookie('whatever')) {
  //exists
} else {
  //nuthin!
}

Providing you are using: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie

[edit] you can also:

if ($.cookie('whatever') !== null) {
  //exists
} else {
  //still nuthin
}
