How do I have a cookie expire after 30 seconds?

Ok, I want to know how do I have a cookie expire 30 seconds? I am very new to Javascript and I want to learn more of it before I start jumping into work for people. So I got a book today that teaches cookies and stuff like that so I want to have it if the user submits a site which will run into a script that will see if the user does not have a working cookie then if the user does not have a cookie or it expired then perform into posting the site on the next page and create a new cookie.

30 seconds = 30000 milliseconds. Get the time in milliseconds add 30000 to it and then convert into GMT time and set the expires property of the cookie.

See how it is done here and adapt it for your requirements.

Say, I want to set a cookie and have it expire an hour after it's set. It's looking like this is only possible for browsers which are in the same time zone as my server?? In other words, if I set my cookie with: setcookie('CookieName', $SomeValue, time()+3600, "/");

Hi I have asked this question in alt.php as the time() function as used in setcookie belongs to php - or does it belong equally in the javascript camp - bit confused about that. Anyway, can anyone here put me straight on the following: I had a look at the time() function came across this: "To clarify, it seems this function returns the time of the computer's clock and does not do any timezone adjustments to return GMT, so you are...

Hi, I'm setting a cookie with setcookie, and as long as I'm not closing the browser - the cookie is kept and passed to the next page. But as soon as I leave the site or close the browser, the cookie is gone, ans there is nothing in $_COOKIE dor the next time. The cookie is not shown in the cookies folder.

Hi, (newbie question) I've created some simple .NET ASP application that should store cookies at the client machine. According to the documentation cookie expiration time is set via HttpCookie.Expires property, but property value is the time of day on the client. How can I possibly know client local time ?

I thought this would work but it seems to not work neither in Netscape nor in IE: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // OBTAINED FROM http://www.javascripter.net/faq/settinga.htm // NOTE THAT IF YOU SET days TO -1 THE COOKIE WILL BE SET TO YESTERDAY
