Either writing or retrieving from cookies doesn’t seem to work with some IE browsers. Other releases of IE7 seem okay, but things start to break when you use the following IE7:

IE 7.0.5730.11

I’d love to know if there is a fix for this.

I wrote an article on using MooTools’ Hash.Cookie class, which is quite similar:

Why did you created this on the top of prototype? After seeing your code. I think it wouldn’t be too difficult to make it framework independent. But it is nice, I will do experiments with it, thanks (^-^)

Also for those who do not wish to update to the RC version of Prototype just yet, you can use http://www.stevekallestad.com/blog/making_prototype_compatible_with_jsonjs.html (it allows for json.js to continue its bad behavior and not break Prototypeâ€™s ajax methods)

Lalit, tonote’s right, json.js will completely break Prototype’s Ajax requests. So you really should move to 1.5.1_rc2.

@tonote
Yes I decided to use Prototype 1.5.1_rc2 but then since it is not a stable version, this script wont be of any immediate use to many. So I thought of using json.js and later when a toJSON() gets included in Prototype, I would change this script.

Thanks.

The newest Prototype (1.5.1_rc2) includes json methods in it. This is because json.js extends the “Object object” prototype which is considered very bad and conflicts with some Prototype ajax methods.
