To quote the cookie definition, Expires = Optional. Schedules the expiration
of a cookie variable. Can be specified as a date (as in 10/09/99), number
of DAYS (as in 10, 100), now, or Never. Using NOW deletes the cookie.
ie, store the date time in a cookie, compare it and time it out based on
that, otherwise, you have a 1 day cookie.

Subject: Cookie timeouts
I thought that this worked.
<CFCOOKIE NAME="timer" VALUE="OK" EXPIRES="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#">
It does not! but this does
<CFCOOKIE NAME="timer" VALUE="OK" EXPIRES="#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#">
which sets the cookie to expire after 1 day or 24 hours.
I want the cookie to expire after 1 hour and cause the user to
login again. I may need to alter to 30 mins later.
What have I done wrong?
TIA
Gordon
