motionpack.js remember state with cookie?

Question

Hi there,

I'm currently using Harry Maugans's motionpack.js toggle javascript file in order to collapse divs.

I'd like to know if it's possible to put it so that there is a cookie value assigned to it? That way it remembers if a certain div has been collapsed or open.

I'm currently new to javascript, so it'd really appreciate it if someone helps me out and talks me through the steps of using cookies.

Here is the link to the original motionpack.js http://www.harrymaugans.com/2007/03/24/one-click-toggle-for-sliding-animated-div/

Here is the motionpack.js file I have:

var timerlen = 5;
var slideAniLen = 250;

var timerID = new Array();
var startTime = new Array();
var obj = new Array();
var endHeight = new Array();
var moving = new Array();
var dir = new Array();

function slidedown(objname){
        if(moving[objname])
                return;

        if(document.getElementById(objname).style.display != "none")
                return; // cannot slide down something that is already visible

        moving[objname] = true;
        dir[objname] = "down";
        startslide(objname);
}

function slideup(objname){
        if(moving[objname])
                return;

        if(document.getElementById(objname).style.display == "none")
                return; // cannot slide up something that is already hidden

        moving[objname] = true;
        dir[objname] = "up";
        startslide(objname);
}

function startslide(objname){
        obj[objname] = document.getElementById(objname);

        endHeight[objname] = parseInt(obj[objname].style.height);
        startTime[objname] = (new Date()).getTime();

        if(dir[objname] == "down"){
                obj[objname].style.height = "1px";
        }

        obj[objname].style.display = "block";

        timerID[objname] = setInterval('slidetick(\'' + objname + '\');',timerlen);
}

function slidetick(objname){
        var elapsed = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime[objname];

        if (elapsed > slideAniLen)
                endSlide(objname)
        else {
                var d =Math.round(elapsed / slideAniLen * endHeight[objname]);
                if(dir[objname] == "up")
                        d = endHeight[objname] - d;

                obj[objname].style.height = d + "px";
        }

        return;
}

function endSlide(objname){
        clearInterval(timerID[objname]);

        if(dir[objname] == "up")
                obj[objname].style.display = "none";

        obj[objname].style.height = endHeight[objname] + "px";

        delete(moving[objname]);
        delete(timerID[objname]);
        delete(startTime[objname]);
        delete(endHeight[objname]);
        delete(obj[objname]);
        delete(dir[objname]);

        return;
}

function toggleSlide(objname){
  if(document.getElementById(objname).style.display == "none"){
    // div is hidden, so let's slide down
    slidedown(objname);
  }else{
    // div is not hidden, so slide up
    slideup(objname);
  }
}

I am toggling divs by assigning an id to them and using:

<a href="javascript:;" onmousedown="toggleSlide('divid');"></a>
