Cookie expiration date

Question

I am not a programmer. I am trying to use a cookie script that remembers the last drop down menu selection.

I found a script that works but it does only a session co

Answer 1

try

var a = new Date();
a = new Date(a.getTime() +1000*60*60*24*365);
document.cookie = 'mycookie=somevalue; expires='+a.toGMTString()+';'; 

PS. The value 1000*60*60*24*365 = 1 Year

To Get the selected index try this GETcookie:

function GETcookie(){    
if (document.cookie){    
var a = document.cookie;
Selected = a.substring(a.search('Selected=')+9,a.search(';'));
alert("Selected = " + Selected);
document.getElementById('myList').selectedIndex=Selected;
}}
