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.
