Hi I am new to Java Script and have a scenario I want to store some data on javascript cookies.

the probelm is javascript cookies can store only 4 KB of data. Looking for an alternate i found out jStorage and local-storage but these are not supported in all browser. Is there a work around for same.

if ($.cookie('test_data') == null ){
     test_data.push({
      qid: qid, 
      answer:  answer
      });
$.cookie("test_data",JSON.stringify(test_data) , {  expires: expires,   path: '/' });
  }
  else{
    test_data = JSON.parse($.cookie("test_data"));
    test_data = $.grep(test_data, function(e){ return e.qid != qid;   });
    test_data.push({
    qid: qid, 
    answer:  answer
    });
    $.cookie("test_data", JSON.stringify(test_data), {  expires: expires, path: '/' });
  }

This is the sample code I am using.

Here problem is if my answer is to big than cookie storage fails.I have to store group of answer for same.

Any help is appreciated.

Cookies cannot be used for storing large amount of data as they get transmitted to the server with each request.

So is the question: do you need exactly cookies? Or just to store some data locally?

If later then check localStorage that is available in all modern browsers.

I "think" you should create table in database to storage "data"

table "COOKIES_DATA" : [ data_id , data , data_create , date_expire ]

and cookies only store data_id in table.

When user visit, you could get data_id in cookies to get data in database
