Answer 1

var cookieList = function(cookieName) {

    var cookie = Cookies.get(cookieName);
    var items = cookie ? cookie.split(/,/) : new Array();

    return {
        "add": function(val) {
            items.push(val);
            Cookies.set(cookieName, items.join(','), {expires: new Date(2020, 0, 1)});
        },
        "remove": function(val) {
            indx = items.indexOf(val);
            if (indx != -1)
                items.splice(indx, 1);
            Cookies.set(cookieName, items.join(','), {expires: new Date(2020, 0, 1)});
        },
        "clear": function() {
            items = null;
            Cookies.set(cookieName, null, {expires: new Date(2020, 0, 1)});
        },
        "items": function() {
            return items;
        }
    }
};

This line:

$.cookie(cookieName, items);

Should create the string from the array as well, like this:

$.cookie(cookieName, items.join(','));

This is so that when loading the array via cookie.split(/,/), it gets a string it expects (comma-delimited).
