javascript set cookie with expire time

Question

I am setting a cookie by Javascript and it is working fine but it is not taking the expire time I am giving. It keeps on taking session value regardless of what I give, belo

Answer 1

I think its ok. I've set time to 1000*36000. toGMTString is deprecated please use toUTCString instead.

function display() { 
  var now = new Date();
  var time = now.getTime();
  var expireTime = time + 1000*36000;
  now.setTime(expireTime);
  var tempExp = 'Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:50:17 GMT';
  // document.cookie = 'cookie=ok;expires='+now.toUTCString()+';path=/';
  document.cookie = 'cookie=ok;expires='+now.toGMTString()+';path=/';
  //console.log(document.cookie);
}
