Specification from December 12, 1996

document.cookie

Use string methods such as substring, charAt, indexOf, and lastIndexOf to determine the value stored in the cookie. See the Appendix D, "Netscape cookies" for a complete specification of the cookie syntax.

Wdy, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT

• Wdy is a string representing the full name of the day of the week.
• DD is an integer representing the day of the month.
• Mon is a string representing the three-character abbreviation of the month.
• YY is an integer representing the last two digits of the year.
• HH, MM, and SS are two-digit representations of hours, minutes, and seconds, respectively.

expires=Wednesday, 09-Nov-99 23:12:40 GMT

• Dashes are added between the day, month, and year.
• The year is a two-digit value for cookies.

function RecordReminder(time, expression) {
   // Record a cookie of the form "@<T>=<E>" to map
   // from <T> in milliseconds since the epoch,
   // returned by Date.getTime(), onto an encoded expression,
   // <E> (encoded to contain no white space, semicolon,
   // or comma characters)
   document.cookie = "@" + time + "=" + expression + ";"
   // set the cookie expiration time to one day
   // beyond the reminder time
   document.cookie += "expires=" + cookieDate(time + 24*60*60*1000)
   // cookieDate is a function that formats the date
   // according to the cookie spec

Expiration Date

Specification from 1997

expires=DATE

The expires attribute specifies a date string that defines the valid life time of that cookie. Once the expiration date has been reached, the cookie will no longer be stored or given out.

The date string is formatted as:

Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT

This is based on RFC 822, RFC 850, RFC 1036, and RFC 1123, with the variations that the only legal time zone is GMT and the separators between the elements of the date must be dashes.

expires is an optional attribute. If not specified, the cookie will expire when the user's session ends.

Note: There is a bug in Netscape Navigator version 1.1 and earlier. Only cookies whose path attribute is set explicitly to "/" will be properly saved between sessions if they have an expires attribute.
