cookie expire 1

[mike314]

I'm trying to expire this cookie but its not expiring
basically I want it to expire x minutes in milliseconds after the time its created, x being the parameter you set
is there anything obvious??


var cookiePath = ";Path=/";
function setCookie(cookieName, cookieValue, expirenumber)
{
if (cookieValue != null && cookieValue != "")
var dy = new Date()
cookieValue = escape(cookieValue);
document.cookie=cookieName + "=" + cookieValue + ((expirenumber) ? ";expires="+dy.getTime()+ expirenumber : ";expires=" + cookieExpires.toGMTString()) + cookiePath;
cookieString = document.cookie;
}

In both cases in your terniary operator, you need to make sure the date is in .toGMTString() format.

 document.cookie=cookieName + "=" + cookieValue + ((expirenumber) ? ";expires="+[!]([/!]dy.getTime()+ expirenumber[!]).toGMTString()[/!] : ";expires=" + cookieExpires.toGMTString()) + cookiePath;

**My code might break, you would maybe need to parse as date


<.

thanks got it

i used:
dy.setTime(Date.parse(dy.toGMTString()) + expirenumber)
