_setDoc

(
  • newDoc
)
Void private

Defined in cookie/js/Cookie.js:204

Sets the document object that the cookie utility uses for setting cookies. This method is necessary to ensure that the cookie utility unit tests can pass even when run on a domain instead of locally.

Parameters:

  • newDoc Object

    The object to use as the document.

Returns:

Void:

exists

(
  • name
)
