Hi, I've run into this problem: I create a cookie in my subdomain: sub.domain.com The cookie is written to: .domain.com so that it can be read across all the domain. Afterwards I need to delete the cookie and I can't. I can read without issues, but I can't delete it from the subdomain I created it. Do you have any idea why this is? (I'm testing with FF3, just in case) Thanks, dust

I found the solution now, but cookies are weird! Just to be sure that you understand what I did, when I said deleting the cookie that meant setting the expiration date to -30 years. This is the only way to delete a cookie. My problem was that I tried to do this with the existing cookie already set. But that doesn't work with the ".domain.com". Instead I created a new cookie, with the same name, same top-domain, and set the expiration to -30 years and added it to the response, and then it was deleted without problems! Well, what can i say, cookies are weird stuff :)
