adding into and reading all array from JQuery cookie

Question

Im trying to examine a simple html page that I could add data as I pressed 1st button into jquery cookie array and in another button could read all cookie values in a list.

simply attempting to add to cookie array and print its values into a span. but simply this code does not throw any console error. and array size alerts always zero. what is the problem with my js codes ? Can you help?

    <html>
    <head>
        <script src="Scripts/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>
        <script src="Scripts/jquery.cookie.js"></script>

    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1">
            <div>

                <input id="Text1" type="text" />

                <input id="Button1" type="button" value="ADD TO COOKIE ARRAY" onclick="addToCookie();" />
            </div>
        </form>
        <p>
            <input id="Button2" type="button" value="READ ALL COOKIE ARRAY INTO SPAN" onclick="readAllFromCookie();" />
            <span id="span_listhere"></span>

Modified as mentioned in responses. but no luck

this is not an answer. just added path parameter name/value pair. as you mentioned below, no luck. still array value alerts to zero and nothing happens. andalso no any console error occuring as I press both of button elements.

<head>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>

        </div>
    </form>
    <p>

might not be that, but just to be sure, have you tried specifying a path to your cookie?

$.cookie(cookieName, items.join(','), { path: '/YourAppName' });

also have a look at this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1458724/how-to-set-unset-cookie-with-jquery?rq=1 – jon Jan 18 '16 at 19:05
shall the code not working without path parameter ?. so I have to add path name value pair parameter for each line of $.cookie ? – Zen Of Kursat Jan 18 '16 at 20:30
$.cookie.defaults.path = '/'; also that does not made any sense for the initial code. I just want to add data from text element to jquery cookie.and read array back. how should it be difficult ? is there any better library rather than default jquery.cookie ? – Zen Of Kursat Jan 18 '16 at 20:44
try with plain js (like in this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1458724/how-to-set-unset-cookie-with-jquery?rq=1 answer from Russ Cam) – jon Jan 18 '16 at 21:50
