Hey 'Volters:

Has anyone had problems/experience with deleting cookies with JS when they
originally set programmatically (in this case, the cookie's being set with
JavaScript)? I suppose the real question is deeper than that... When you set a
cookie using Perl or Java, etc., you send the cookie as a part of the header
statement, as an extension of the HTTP protocol. But, when you set a cookie with
JS, it's a property of the document object. I'm not exactly how to reconcile
these two distinctions, where the overlap, if any, exists.

Comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Teresa
