Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<head>
<title>Cookies</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
	var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
	((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
	((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
	((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
	((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
	document.cookie = curCookie;
}

// -->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="button" value="Set Cookie" onClick="setCookie('cookie1', 'I%20like%20cookies!', 'December 15, 2001', '/', 'http://members.home.net/gshelpboy/');">
</body>
</html>

Any idea what's wrong??

Hi GSHelpBoy,

The expires argument expects a date object and not a date string.
Also you dont need to escape the string you pass to the value argument
because it is escaped inside the function. Try this:

Code:

<input type="button" value="Set Cookie" onClick="setCookie('cookie1', 'I like cookies!', new Date('December 15, 2001'), '/', 'http://members.home.net/gshelpboy/');">
