$.cookie('name', null) not deleting cookie one place, is another... ?

[thewatts]

So, I have duplicate code here.... just attached to two different selectors (based on where you are located on site).

This code will not work for the $.cookie('name', null) to delete cookie.

$('a.campus-select').click(function(){
    var $campus = $(this).attr('rel');

    // set or delete cookie
    if ($campus == "all") {
        $.cookie('Campus', null); // TRYING TO DELETE COOKIE - BUT WONT HERE. WILL BELOW?
        console.log("current campus is " + $campus);
        console.log($.cookie('Campus'));
    } else { 
        $.cookie('Campus', null);
        // setCookie('Campus',$campus,365); 
        $.cookie('Campus', $campus, { expires: 365, path: '/' });
        console.log("just set the cookie for /");
    }
});

This code will work work for the $.cookie('name', null) to delete cookie.

$('a.home-campus-select').click(function(){
    var $campus = $(this).attr('rel');
    var $update_links = $('ul.filter li a');

    // set or delete cookie
    if ($campus == "all") {
        $.cookie('Campus', null); // BUT DELETING A COOKIE HERE WORKS... ?
        console.log("current campus is " + $campus);
    console.log($.cookie('Campus'));
    } else { 
        $.cookie('Campus', null);
    // setCookie('Campus',$campus,365); 
    $.cookie('Campus', $campus, { expires: 365, path: '/' });
    console.log("just set the cookie for /");
    }
});

I have literally copied and pasted the code into each other - they are nearly identical - yet - the top will not delete the cookie with $.cookie('Campus', null);

I may be completely missing this - and if so, that is fine :) I just want to know what I'm doing wrong - or if there is a bug!

If you want to see it in action: 2011.newlifechurch.tv

Working one is on the ** home page ** - bottom updates, you can see in the console. When clicking 'All' in the filter - you will see null show up (make sure you select a campus first!)

Then on the updates page (2011.newlifechurch.tv/updates) - if you do the same with the filters, you will see that it won't say 'null', instead saying a campus name.

When deleting a cookie, you must pass the exact same path, domain and secure options that were used to set the cookie.

[carhartl]

e.g. if you're not on the root level of your page, to delete the cookie (being allowed to delete that is from a browser perspective), you need to include the path when deleting.

$.cookie('Campus', null, { path: '/' });

Great!
