@chuxsauthorNov 27.2003 — thanx, but is it possible for me to delete the cookie base on a specific time say 10 mins

@pyroNov 27.2003 — 10 minutes from when it was set, or 10 minutes after the browser was closed?

@pyroNov 28.2003 — Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
expiry = new Date();
expiry.setTime(expiry.getTime()+600000);
document.cookie = "cookiename=value; expires="+expiry.toGMTString();
</script>
