Hi all,

I want to delete a cookies at the top of a certain page (Signup page), I'm not familiar with cookies, so what's the best way to do so:

Response.Cookies("SiteCookies") = ""

Response.Cookies("SiteCookies").Expires=Now

or there is other code to delete cookies?

thanks.

ASP cookies almost always end up buggy and less reliable. if possible, i'd use JavaScript cookies instead...

Here's how to set them (ripped from devjunkies.com

)



<script language="javascript">
		function SetCookie (name, value) {
  var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
  var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
  var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
  var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
  var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
  var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
  document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
    ((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
    ((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
    ((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
    ((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}
</script>

Then <a onclick="javascript:SetCookie('Name', 'Value');">

You should be able to work out how to read cookies from that aswell.
