about IE's session cookie

[zhaicheng]

Is it possible to erase a session cookie like this?

$Obj = _IEDocGetObj($oIE)

$Obj.cookie=""

My purpose is to assign a new value to this doc.

But it does not work. It seems this property of ".cookie" is read only.

Is that right?

It's not read-only, but it is probably covered by security restrictions on how it can be changed.

the cookie property is read/write, but it doesn't work the way you are thinking it does.

When you read the cookie property, it returns the full set of name/value pairs for all cookies (and the cookie properties).

When you write to the cookie property, it adds a new name/value pair to the cookie property.

To delete a cookie, you must rewrite the name/value conbination to the cookie property with an expiration in the past.

For example:

$Obj.cookie = $cookie_name &= "=; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT"
