JavaScript code for cookie not working in Chrome
cookies, google-chrome, javascript
Solution
This problem can occur if You open Your code as `file:///C:/.../xxx.html` instead of `http:// localhost/xxx.html`. Chrome doesn't save cookies (because there is no domain and no http communication) in `file://` case.

Problem
The following code works fine in FF: ``` var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime() + (1 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString(); document.cookie = "c_odi" + "=" + $('#orderdetailid').val() + expires + "; path=/"; ``` But not in Chrome. When I'm using Chrome and I do `document.cookie` in the console to view cookies, the `c_odi` cookie isn't there. But when I do the same in FF, it is. How can we make cookies work in Chrome? The cookies that were added by PHP are fine, but not this one in JavaScript, and I do need to add this cookie via JavaScript at this point.
