ColVis with jquery cookie?

versak

Been trying to set up a cookie for saving and returning the ColVis data. My basic code is (hand typed from intranet):
[code]
var columnDisplayIndex = $.cookie("columnIndexCookie");
$("#datatable).ready(function(){
$("#datatable).dataTable({
......
"aoColumnDefs" : [{
"bVisible" : false, "aTargets" : [columnDisplayIndex]
}]
.......
"fnDrawCallback" :
function(oSettings){
var vCols = new Array();
.each($("#openTable").dataTable().fnSettings().aoColumns, function(c){
if(oSettings.aoColumns[c].bVisible == false){
vCols.push(c);
}
});
$.cookie("columnIndexCookie", vCols, {expires:90})
.....
[/code]

I can return the values (print out in the firebug console logs) when I click the ColVis buttons and I can see the values in the cookie. I can return the values from the var in the cookie (var columnDisplayIndex ) but it doesn't seem to read it on refresh or load when it gets to the aoColumnDefs.

Any ideas what i'm missing here?

CoLVis state saving should be handled by DataTables / ColVis automatically. There should be no need to add any additional code other than bStateSave: true .

bStateSave has never worked for our circumstances. i've gone back to retry it and it never works for me.

Some of the tables that we have a pretty huge and it was always an issue with the cookie size and our outdated browsers.

How out dated? Is localStorage an option?

localstorage is not an option. most of users are using IE7
