Question

This is my JavaScript code I use to create my cookie…………

document.cookie = "Name=" + Name + ";expires=Friday, 31-Dec-2011 12:00:00 GMT; path/";

I create it in http://www.example.com/folder/file.html and it works.

But I cant read the cookie from http://www.example.com/index.html or http://www.example.com/folder2/file2.html.

What is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

you have an error in how you set the path

 path/ 

should be

path=/

Also, the format for the expiration date is wrong – it should be like Thu, 2 Aug 2001 20:47:11 UTC, the same format that is returned by new Date().toGMTString();.
