Hello,
after many deep searches on javascript and cookies, i still cannot have an
answer for a incredible cookie problem !
here it is, i hope you'll be able to answer me :
This is my function that put on a disk a cookie that has a 5 minutes
duration
function pose_5minutesco okie()
{
var expdate=new Date();
expdate.setTime (expdate.getTim e() + (5 * 60 * 1000));
alert ("expires=" + expdate);
document.cookie = 'test=1; expires=' + expdate.toGMTSt ring() + '; path=/;
domain=eg_domai n';
window.history. go(0);
}
the alert says that the expiration date is well calculated
the cookie sets on the drive
BUT
The cookie never expires !!!!!!!!
Another interesting expérience is that if i change the time to less than 500
(ms that's right !) instead of 5 minutes (in the example), the cookie does
not appear on the disk. I think this should mean that its living time is too
short to be written. I admit but if i run this cookie to expire in 1000 ms,
it appears ont the disk but it never expire !
Any idée ? Did anybody ran a 5 minutes cookie ?

Hi Fabrice,
I am not sure, but maybe it is this:
It depends on what you mean by 'never expires'?
If you mean that the coockiefile exists on disk. --> okay. You cannot expect
your browser to scan every possible cookie from every possible site every
millisecond to check if it should delete them, can you?
If you mean that you try to read the value of test 10 minutes later the
normal way (that is not looking at the file, but reading it using
javascript), and it still shows up. --> your browser is broken, or you made
some mistake in the setting/getting of the cookie.
Maybe you are setting the cookie every time again (with a timestamp of +5
minutes from now)
Hard to tell without the complete code/logic.
I expect a browser to update the coockie (and delete it) only when needed.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Erwin Moller
Hello Erwin,
You were right, cookies are working fine. I was sure the cookie had to
disapear from the disk but it doesn't and anyway the cookie duration was ok.
Thank you very much for your help, i was stupidily stuck but you gave me the
idea i did not test.
Regards
Fabrice

This is more of a pain than I thought it would be. I need a simple code
segment to determine whether a browser accepts cookies or not. When I pass
variables between pages when cookies are turned off, the global variables
are empty between pages, fine, that tells me cookies store the global
variables - right? I store the values in $_session and when cookies are
turned on values are passed between web pages - I can see these values in
fields...
