Hi,

How do I get back the expires value of a cookie?
... alert(document.cookie.expires) ...

As far I know, you can't. Once the browser has the cookie, the expires (or
Max-Age) value becomes internal: it's only used to decide if the cookie
should be returned when requested.

Which does not mean you cannot include a copy of the the expiry date as a
string in a cookie key.

It always feels good, Jean Québec, when someone agrees with me.
