Cookie trouble in IE

I'm using the following line to delete cookies. It works great in Firefox, but in IE the cookie still exists, it's just lost all of its data. I can check to see if the data is there, and ignore the cookie if it isn't, but since I'm looping through my cookies when the page builds, I rather it be completely removed.

document.cookie = name + "=noop; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT" + "; path=" + path;

Is there a better way to destroy a cookie in IE?

 

you could use these functions to work with cookies, they should be compatible with all browsers

function setCookie(name, value, expires) {
var deCookie = name + "=" + escape(value);
if(expires){
expires= expires.toGMTString();
deCookie += "; expires=";
deCookie += expires;
}
document.cookie = deCookie;
}
function getCookie(name) {
var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";
var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
if (begin == -1) {
begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
if (begin != 0) return false;
}else begin += 2;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1)
end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
}
function delCookie(name){
expires = new Date(1807,1,1);
expires = expires.toGMTString();
deCookie = name
deCookie += "=delete; expires=";
deCookie += expires;
document.cookie = deCookie;
}
