jquery, session, cache

Question

Hi,

I have a problem and I want to resolve it with jQuery.

I have a some Links on the page, and want to get the "text" from the link what was clicked. But I need this text to use on another page. Because when I click this anchor I leave this page , and I go to another one, and I need to use this "Get link text" on the second page.

I Hope it is possible to use browser Cookies with jquery helps ..

Can you help me, if it is possible!!

Thanks !

Answer 1

Read here how to set and read cookies -- then you can make the link set the cookie using onclick="" and at the end of the onclick return true; to make it link to where it was supposed to right after it finishes. Basically,

<a href="http://google.com" onclick="setCookie('link_title','Go to Google');return true;">
Go to Google
</a>

Answer 2

How about adding the text to request parameters and using it on server side?

Answer 3

$("a").click(function(event){
    myTarget = $(this).attr('href')+"?txt="+$(this).text();
    window.location.href = myTarget;
});

This will pass the text of the link to the next page as a query string parameter called "txt".

Does that help?

Answer 4

Try the cookie plugin for jquery: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie

Answer 5

Using the Cookie plugin:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a.something').click(function() {
        $.cookie('my_cookie', $(this).text());
    });
});


// on your second page
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a.something').text($.cookie('my_cookie'));
});
