Keith: That's a question really about what sort of rules you want to enforce. You can reset it every time they log in, or not. I would say reset it.
Here's what the docs say about exspires: Optional. Schedules the expiration of a cookie variable. Can be specified as a date (as in, 10/09/97), number of days (as in, 10, 100), "Now", or "Never". Using Now effectively deletes the cookie from the client browser. H. > -----Original Message----- > From: E.
