how do u make a cookie expire?
i tryied this:
<%
Response.Cookies("Name")="Me"
Response.Cookies("Name").Expires = -1000
%>
i want to make it expire after about 5 minutes, not a set date
aim=bleachedchris
yahoo im and email = [email protected] or chrisinthematrix

Having it expire in -1000 is basically used to remove an existing cookie or to account for time differences...If you are trying to "timeout" a site use the session.expires method...set it to 5 on the index.asp page

<%
session.expires=5
%>

All other session variables will clear once the session itself expires

Let me know if this helps

You would still use a set date (and time), but you set the datetime to 5 minutes from now. Of course, this is kind of difficult when you consider that A)The server time and client time would need to match reasonably closel and B)If the client is not in the same timezone, the cookie expiration would be off by 1-24 hours.
