How to set the id of a div as cookie?

cookies, html, javascript, jquery

Solution

You can implement it like this:

function goToLocation(sLocation, id) {
   $.cookie("activediv", id);
   window.location.href = sLocation;
}

in html:

<a href="#" onclick="goToLocation('../../home/welcome', 'home')" id="home">Home</a>

in jQuery ready:

$('#' + $.cookie("activediv")).parent().parent().addClass('menuHeaderActive');

Problem

I have got a task to highlight the selected menu while refreshing the page. For that I want to use cookie. Html code is ``` <div class="menuBar"> <div class="menuHeader ui-corner-top"> <span><a href="#" onclick="Home()" id="home">Home</a></span> </div> <div class="menuHeader ui-corner-top"> <span><a href="#" onclick="NewTransaction()" id="newtransaction">New Transaction</a></span> </div> </div> ``` Javascript file is ``` function Home() { window.location.href = "../../home/welcome"; } function NewTransaction() { window.location.href = "../../EnergyCatagory/index"; } ``` But I have a code to set the menu as selected.But its not a good way.How can I pass the value of the selected menu to the page while refreshing? this is the code for highlighting the menu ``` $(document).ready(function () { var currentUrl = window.location.href; if (currentUrl.indexOf("home/welcome") !== -1) { $("#home").parent().parent().addClass('menuHeaderActive'); } else if (currentUrl.indexOf("EnergyCatagory/index") !== -1) { $("#newtransaction").parent().parent().addClass('menuHeaderActive'); } else if (currentUrl.indexOf("portfolio/Index") !== -1) { $("#portfolio").parent().parent().addClass('menuHeaderActive'); } }); ```
