A Cookie Error is a Sometimes Thing

Hi,

I've a script that sets a cookie, but when I visit the page occasionally
get this error that goes away when I immediately refresh the page:

"Object doesn't support this property or method:
'Response.Cookies(...)"


Here's the code in question:

Response.Cookies("CKName")("ED").Expires = DATE + 3650


I've read elsewhere that the ".Expires" method is not supported, but
it's in most of the online cookie tutorials I've looked at, and, like I
said, it works when I refresh the page.

I also saw a comment on this board that this is not how you create a
permanent cookie with ASP. If not, then how?


Thanks.

The cookie is the object retrevied with Cookies("CKName"). ("ED") is a value
with in the cookie and returns a string.
Cookies can be multivalued which what you appear to be using but you can
only expire the cookie as whole not an individual value. This code should
perhaps be:-

Response.Cookies("CKName").Expires = Date + 3650

Great. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
