A simple, lightweight jQuery plugin for creating a notification bar that is dismissable and dismiss is saved by cookie. Perfect for implementing the new eu cookielaw! - example available on [gh-pages] (http://carlwoodhouse.github.com/jquery.cookieBar)
Uses: jQuery.Cookie - bundled, no need to reference.
Include script after the jQuery library
<script src="/path/jquery.cookieBar.js"></script>
If you want the default styles also include the css, if not feel free to style it as you see wish!
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cookieBar.css">
Create a cookiebar with no markup whatsoever! it's like magic ...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.cookieBar();
});
</script>
Or, create your cookiebar markup from a simple container, example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.cookie-message').cookieBar();
});
</script>
<div class="cookie-message">
The government says i have to tell you i use cookies, so here it is
</div>
Or, create your cookiebar markup from a simple container with an advanced button, example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.cookie-message').cookieBar({ closeButton : '.my-close-button' });
});
</script>
<div class="cookie-message">
The government says i have to tell you i use cookies, so here it is <a class="my-close-button" href>cheers!</a>
</div>
