I am trying to set a cookie and its path but not able to set the path correctly

Question

When I use like var values = some array which depends on the user selections.

document.cookie = "filters="+values;

How can I set the path for this cookie if the path is /abc-def/

If i do in this way it is not storing the real value. It is storing as **"filters=value"**. I need it store as **"filters=10( value dynamically changes)"** – user3686276 Nov 27 '15 at 13:24
Try this : var myAry = [1, 2, 3]; $.cookie('name', JSON.stringify(myAry),path:'/'); – CY_Techie Nov 27 '15 at 13:30

You can use

values = JSON.stringify(values); document.cookie = "filters="+values;

What about the path ? – user3686276 Nov 27 '15 at 13:20
document.cookie = "filters="+values+"; path=domain.com;" – ankita Nov 27 '15 at 13:28
Its not working with Chrome and working on all other browsers – user3686276 Nov 30 '15 at 12:10
Can you copy paste your code here. This should work in all the browsers – ankita Nov 30 '15 at 13:08
Its working in Chrome now, sorry its my mistake in code.But there is problem with IE9. I am using the way as document.cookie = "filter ="+values+"; path=/abc-def;"; – user3686276 Nov 30 '15 at 16:56
There is a problem with path in IE9 as when i don't use path it is working fine. I am using like this without path as document.cookie = "filter_id="+values; – user3686276 Nov 30 '15 at 16:59

This will help you more

$.cookie("test", 1, {
   expires : 10,           //expires in 10 days

   path    : '/',          //The value of the path attribute of the cookie 
                           //(default: path of page that created the cookie).    
   domain  : 'google.com',  //The value of the domain attribute of the cookie

                   //(default: domain of page that created the cookie).

   secure  : true          //If set to true the secure attribute of the cookie
                           //will be set and the cookie transmission will
                           //require a secure protocol (defaults to false).
});
