    Well the reason i think he got mixed up is since u used as Ur example echo etc that aint used in js but is in php.

    To do what u are wanting in js you will need some functions to get, add cookies there are a few unready made js functions out there like here.
    code to use with those functions would be:

    <script type="text/javascript">
function addCookie(name, value) {

createCookie(name,value, 360);
}

if (!readCookie("body-size")) {
createCookie('body-size', 'width-fluid', 360);
document.getElementById('switchwidthwide').className = readCookie("body-size");
}
else {
document.getElementById('switchwidthwide').className = readCookie("body-size");
}

</script>

then on the onclick use onclick="addCookie('body-size', 'width-small')"
    PHP:

    Or you could use mootools and use this code below for your example:

    
<script type="text/javascript" src="mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addCookie(name, value) {
Cookie.set(name, value, {duration: 360});
}

if (!Cookie.get("body-size")) {
Cookie.set('body-size', 'width-fluid', {duration: 360});
document.getElementById('switchwidthwide').className = Cookie.get("body-size");
}
else {
document.getElementById('switchwidthwide').className = Cookie.get("body-size");
}

</script>

then on the onclick use onclick="addCookie('body-size', 'width-small')"
    PHP:

    It should work dont think i did anythink wrong.
