/*Set Cookie Javascript Function 
You need to put the name and values in quotes when you call the function, like this:
  Set_Cookie( 'mycookie', 'visited 9 times', 30 );. 
This makes the cookie named 'mycookie', with the value of 
'visited 9 times', and with a life of 30 days, and the cookie is set to your root folder. 

Only the first 2 parameters are required, the cookie name, the cookie
value. Cookie time is in milliseconds, so the below expires will make the 
number you pass in the Set_Cookie function call the number of days the cookie
lasts, if you want it to be hours or minutes, just get rid of 24 and 60.
*/

function Set_Cookie( name, value, expires) {
	// set time, it's in milliseconds
	var today = new Date();
	today.setTime( today.getTime() );
	// if the expires variable is set, make the correct expires time, the
	// current script below will set it for x number of days, to make it
	// for hours, delete * 24, for minutes, delete * 60 * 24
	if ( expires )
	{
		expires = expires * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
	}
	//alert( 'today ' + today.toGMTString() );// this is for testing purpose only
	var expires_date = new Date( today.getTime() + (expires) );
	//alert('expires ' + expires_date.toGMTString());// this is for testing purposes only

	document.cookie = name + "=" +escape( value ) +
		( ( expires ) ? ";expires=" + expires_date.toGMTString() : "" );  //expires.toGMTString()

}

// this deletes the cookie when called
