jquery cookie not working

hey people i'm using a jquery plugin for creating cookies which seems to be working perfect when i run it on localhost but when I tested in the server it's not working as i expected.

below is my file testcookie.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="3.ico">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/iepngfix_tilebg.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script> 
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {

$.cookie("example", "foo");
alert( $.cookie("example") );

});})(jQuery);
</script>
</head>
<body>hello there</body>
</html>

result= no alert

here's the demo http://namadda.com/demo/testcookie.php

onething i noticed just now is that click view source and all the script link is working but jquery.cookie.js isn't showing up, instead i'm getting error 406 when i clicked jquery cooke link on view source page. But it's present on server like other plugins.

Renaming the file jquery.cookie.js to something else should succeed.

The best solution is renaming jquery.cookie.js file to something like jquery_cookie.js

It was the best solution for me, because I don't have permission to modify mod_security

When I visit http://namadda.com/demo/js/jquery.cookie.js I get a 406 Not Acceptable HTTP error.

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /demo/js/jquery.cookie.js could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Something is not configured properly on your server.

  1. Make sure that the JQuery and js/jquery.cookie.js js files exist at the server.[1]
  2. Set the expiry date, so that the cookie doesn't get destroyed after the session.
  3. Set a path, so that your cookie is accessible from your whole site (optional).

Combining 2 and 3: $.cookie("example", "foo", {expires:7, path:"/"}) - Life time of 7 days

[1] A common novice mistake.
