New to Javascript, help with expiring cookies

chrisx

I get java errors in IE with this cookie, any idea why? Also how do I name the cookie and set it to expire in 20 min. I am not that familiar with expiring cookies. Any help is appreciated.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure)

{

    document.cookie= name + "=" + escape(value) +

        ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +

        ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +

        ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +

        ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");

}
 
function getCookie(name)

{

    var dc = document.cookie;

    var prefix = name + "=";

    var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);

    if (begin == -1)

    {

        begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);

        if (begin != 0) return null;

    }

    else

    {

        begin += 2;

    }

    var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);

    if (end == -1)

    {

        end = dc.length;

    }

    return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));

}
 
function deleteCookie(name, path, domain)

{

    if (getCookie(name))

    {

        document.cookie = name + "=" + 

            ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +

            ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +

            "; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:30:01 GMT";

    }

}
