Im not sure, will this help?

Delete Cookie Javascript Function
// this deletes the cookie when called
function Delete_Cookie( name, path, domain ) {
if ( Get_Cookie( name ) ) document.cookie = name + "=" +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "") +
( ( domain ) ? ";domain=" + domain : "" ) +
";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
}
Here all you need to do is put in: Delete_Cookie('cookie name', '/', '&#39 and the cookie will be deleted. Remember to match the cookie name, path, and domain to what you have it in Set_Cookie exactly, or you may get some very hard to diagnose errors.

WARNING: Do not assume the Cookie has actually been deleted during that session, both Opera and IE have in some of their browser versions maintained the cookie until you restart your browser even if you have deleted it in the script. If script functionality depends on the delete action having happened, make sure you do another Get_Cookie test on the deleted cookie to make sure it's actually deleted.

forgive my ignorance but why would you want to delete cookies like that?

The only thing I can imagine is to create a script file that'll do it for him, perhaps to save time.

I donk actually know anything about/in java. I drink java and that is about the only thing I can say...:lol: I found that on the internet somewhere. Yahoo.com then typed delete cookies in Java. I like to keep it simple (for me anyway )
