How to delete a cookie?

Question

Is my function of creating a cookie correct? How do I delete the cookie at the beginning of my program? is there a simple coding?

function createCookie(name,         


        

Answer 1

Some of the other solutions might not work if you created the cookie manually.

Here's a quick way to delete a cookie:

document.cookie = 'COOKIE_NAME=; Max-Age=0; path=/; domain=' + location.host;

Answer 2

would this work?

function eraseCookie(name) {
    document.cookie = name + '=; Max-Age=0'
}

I know Max-Age causes the cookie to be a session cookie in IE when creating the cookie. Not sure how it works when deleting cookies.
