Delete cookies button!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 22.2008

Hi there,

this is my site:

[URL=”www.shape-studio.co.uk/index.html”]www.shape-studio.co.uk/index.html
[/URL]
The drag and drop menus use cookies called “menubox” and “textbox” to record the coordinates of the divs so they stay in place from page to page. This is the drag and drop script:

[URL=”www.shape-studio.co.uk/text/dnd.js”]www.shape-studio.co.uk/text/dnd.js
[/URL]
I would like a simple button (link) that the user can click that will delete these cookies and reload the current page, thus returning the menus back to their default position.

This has been driving me crazy! Any help much appreciated!

Thanks
Dominic

Great, thanks for that.

Do you know how I'd incorporate that into a link which also refreshes the current page?

Sorry, complete javascript newbie!

Thanks

Dom
