[jQuery] Cookies

[craigeves]

I'm really stuck in adding the cookies plugin to the sortables script
I have below. I don't even know where to begin. Can anyone help?

<script type="text/javascript">
                        $(document).ready(function(){
                                $(".column").sortable({
                                        connectWith: '.column',
                                        cursor: 'hand',
                                        handle: 'h3',
                                        opacity: 0.8,

                                        change: function(e, i) {
                                                // Post data back to server or 
update cookie
                                        }
                                });
                                $(".widget").append('<div 
class="close"></div>');
                                $(".close").click(function(){
                                        if 
($(this).parent().data("collapsed")=="yes") {
                                                
$(this).parent().data("collapsed","no");
                                                
$(this).parent().animate({height:$(this).parent().data
("height")});
                                        } else {
                                                
$(this).parent().data("height",$(this).parent().height());
                                                
$(this).parent().data("collapsed","yes");
                                                
$(this).parent().animate({height:30});
                                        }
                                });


                        });
                </script>

Many thanks in advance.
