大部分的浏览器一个网站只支持保存20个Cookie，超过20个Cookie，旧的Cookie会被最新的Cookie代替。那么如果要有超过20个Cookie要保存只能将Cookie存为数组然后保存到Cookie。JavaScript中数组是无法直接保存为Cookie的（PHP可以），那要将数组转存为字符串，再保存在Cookie中，简单的一维数组我们直接用toString()或者join就可以了：
JavaScript中toString函数方法是返回对象的字符串表示。
使用方法：objectname.toString([radix])
其中objectname是必选项。要得到字符串表示的对象。
radix是可选项。指定将数字值转换为字符串时的进制。
join是其中一个方法。
格式：objArray.join(seperator)
用途：以seperator指定的字符作为分隔符，将数组转换为字符串，当seperator为逗号时，其作用和toString()相同。
如果多维数组，我们就要用JSON了。
JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) 是一种轻量级的数据交换格式。易于人阅读和编写。同时也易于机器解析和生成。它基于JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition – December 1999的一个子集。 JSON采用完全独立于语言的文本格式，但是也使用了类似于C语言家族的习惯（包括C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python等）。这些特性使JSON成为理想的数据交换语言。
这里我们使用PHP2JS的函数库来实现，需要 json_decode 和 json_encode这两个函数，懂PHP的朋友可以理解这两个函数的意思。json_decode 是JSON到数组，json_encode 是数组到JSON。
需要注意的是JavaScript 保存 Cookie 会将一些字符过滤，如：”{” 被过滤为 “{_” 等。所以在获取 Cookie 时要过滤这些字符，不然 json_decode 会出错。
下面简单举例如下：
<script type="text/javascript">
function setCookie(name, value){
document.cookie = name + "="+ value;
}
function getCookie(name){
var arr = document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(^| )"+name+"=([^;]*)(;|$)"));
if(arr != null) return unescape(arr[2]); return '';
}
function savecookie(){
var dc = {};
dc['a'] = {};
dc['a']['x'] = 'ax';
dc['a']['y'] = 'ay';
dc['a']['z'] = 'az';
dc['b'] = {};
dc['b']['x'] = 'bx';
dc['b']['y'] = 'by';
dc['b']['z'] = 'bz';
var cdc = json_encode(dc);
setCookie('testcookie', cdc);
}
function clearcookie(){
setCookie('testcookie', '');
}
function readcookie(){
var cdc = getCookie('testcookie');
cdc = cdc.replace(/,_/g, ',');
cdc = cdc.replace(/{_/g, '{');
cdc = cdc.replace(/_}/g, '}');
var dc = json_decode(cdc);
for(i in dc){
for(j in dc[i]){
document.write(i +':'+ j +':'+ dc[i][j] +'<br>');
}
}
}

感谢你，不过var dc = {};换成var dc = new Array();貌似就不行了，我是菜鸟，请多指教
不行就还是用var dc = {};
