Question

I have got two pages. example.com/php.com and example.com.

I use this function to set a page:

function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
                var exdate=new Date();
                exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
                var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
                document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value +" path=/";
  }

However, what I am trying to do , is to delete all the cookies before setting it…so I use this:…

function deleteAllCookies() {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");

for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
    var cookie = cookies[i];
    var eqPos = cookie.indexOf("=");
    var name = eqPos > -1 ? cookie.substr(0, eqPos) : cookie;
    document.cookie = name + "=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";
}
}

Then whenever I am on a certain page… I execute both of those functions , one after the other.

 eraseCookie('user_details');
         setCookie('user_details',document.referrer,365); 

The problem is htat the cookie is never set..and I wonder why..
