How to put an array of javascript object in a cookie?
<p>Is it possible to put an array of Javascript objects and retrieve it again? Is there an easy way? Do I have to serialize as a String before storing them in a cookie?</p>

<p>The next code shows what I want to achieve:</p>

<pre><code>writeCookie("items",[new Item(3,15.00,2,"GR-10 Senderos"),new Item(4,45,1,"GR-10 Senderos&lt;br/&gt;GR 88 Senderos del Jarama&lt;br/&gt;Camino del Cid")],5*365);
$(document).ready(function() {  
    var items = readCookie("items");
});

function writeCookie(name, value, days) {
  // By default, there is no expiration so the cookie is temporary
  var expires = "";

  // Specifying a number of days makes the cookie persistent
  if (days) {
    var date = new Date();
    date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
    expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
  }

  // Set the cookie to the name, value, and expiration date
  document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";
}

function readCookie(name) {
  // Find the specified cookie and return its value
  var searchName = name + "=";
  var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
  for(var i=0; i &lt; cookies.length; i++) {
    var c = cookies[i];
    while (c.charAt(0) == ' ')
      c = c.substring(1, c.length);
    if (c.indexOf(searchName) == 0)
      return c.substring(searchName.length, c.length);
  }
  return null;
}

function eraseCookie(name) {
  // Erase the specified cookie
  writeCookie(name, "", -1);
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advanced!</p>
