  Classic ASP > can't delete cookies where domain is set

  Mar 19, 2009 03:54 PM|LINK

  So I have this code on an old ASP page which I recently updated because we are  migrating, and I have set the domain of the cookie  to  include any subdomains:

       Response.cookies("PERSID") = PERSID
          if Temporary =false  then
              Response.Cookies("PERSID").Expires =  DateAdd("d", cookieExpires, Date)

         end if
          Response.Cookies("PERSID").Domain = Domainname

  'Where   domainname is  ".mydomain.com"
  

   The problem is I cannot for the life of me find a way to delete this cookie via ASP.
  The traditional overwrite with empty value and set expire to yesterday doesnt' work. The cookies just stare back at me and laugh.

   Response.cookies("PERSID") = ""
  Response.Cookies("PERSID").Expires =  Date() -1

   I tried setting the domain level prior to clearnig it but that doesn't do much.

  Does anyone have any ideas how to eliminate these cookies?

   ok I figured it out. You have to assign the .domainname.com  domain when you clear them out otherwise it won't clear them out.
