Not owing, but might one day:

<tip type="Setting cookies in JavaScript" author="Craig Saila">
If you use something like this to set a cookie:

   var time = new Date();
   time.setTime(time.getTime());
   document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) + "; path=/; expires=" + 
time;

make sure you convert "time" to GMT by doing this:

   time.toGMTString()

Mozilla 0.9.6 requires it.
</tip>
