I have this code as a small file called logoff.asp which I send users to via a link within a Response.Write statement. The idea is that a user clicks on a link to log off from my site, and the cookie with thier information is immediately deleted. I also tried the following line instead of the Expires=NOW() line:
Response.Cookies ("myname".Expires = Date-1
and
Response.Cookies ("myname".Expires = 1/1/1990
None of these options have worked yet. It seems that no matter what I do, the cookie doesn't expire. Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Any help is much appreciated.
