Re: question about cookies..

[Michael Hodgdon]

Out of curiosity, is the persistence causing a problem for your code, or did you just notice that the output of this cookie was retaining these values after deleting them?  If there is no problem, I would say you are all set.  It would help to see a little more code though from the page where you are setting these variables.  Such as if you are using cfapplication and client management, how are you setting the cookies etc....

  I've tried a CFDUMP var="#cookie#, and funny enough it returns a whole set
  of different cookies than ( alert(document.cookie)) ....could it be tha to
  need to use _javascript_ to delete them because they were created with
  _javascript_? Someone mentioned that it might be because of page processing,
  but no that's not it ( I've gone to subsequent pages and they are still
  there ).

  Here's my code trying to delete them ...

  <cfcookie name="surveyid" value="" expires="now">
  <cfcookie name="question" value="" expires="now">
  <cfcookie name="optional" value="true" expires="now">

  <cfloop from="1" to="20" index="i">

  <cfif isdefined('cookie.ans#i#') or isdefined('cookie.ans#i#check')>
  <cookie name="ans#i#" value="" expires="now">
  <cfcookie name="ans#i#check" value="" expires="now">
  </cfif>

  </cfloop>

  Here's what _javascript_: alert(document.cookie) returns >

  question=What is my name macker; ans1sdfsdfs; ans1=Macker macker;
  ans2=annaser er macka; optional=true; ans3=macker sdfsdf; ans1check=false;
  ans2check=false; ans3check=false; ans4; ans4check=false; ans5check=false;
  HIDEWELCOMEWINDOW=1; CFID=401; CFTOKEN=64042666;
  JSESSIONID=7e301552641070328067800

  Here's what CFDUMP returns >

  ANS1 [empty string]
  ANS1CHECK [empty string]
  ANS2 [empty string]
  ANS2CHECK [empty string]
  ANS3 [empty string]
  ANS3CHECK [empty string]
  ANS4 [empty string]
  ANS4CHECK [empty string]
  ANS5 [empty string]
  ANS5CHECK [empty string]
  CFID 401
  CFTOKEN 64042666
  HIDEWELCOMEWINDOW 1
  JSESSIONID 7e301552641070328067800
  OPTIONAL true
  QUESTION [empty string]
  SURVEYID [empty string]
  ans1sdfsdfs [undefined struct element]
