Can't delete cookie created in Javascript

[TimSki]

Hi,

I've posted this in the javascript forum as well as i guess it's relevant in both.

I have the following javascript function which creates a cookie

 
function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
    var exdate=new Date();
    exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
    document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)                +((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="
        +exdate.toGMTString());
}
 

it works great and if i call...

setCookie ("A2O_list", ' 0 ', 365)

from within in javascript it puts a cookie on my machine as accepted.

However, now i want to destroy the cookie. I can do this with another javascript function BUT for variuos rreasons i need to do it in ASP.

Now, when i call the standard asp routine to destroy the cookie...

Response.Cookies("A2O_list").Expires=Date - 1
OR
Response.Cookies("A2O_list") = ""

the cookie is NOT destroyed !

Can someone pls explain why ?

Thanks in advance
