I followed went through some related threads and also followed the tutorial on http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html but I can't get my cookie to set.
<script type="text/javascript">
function setcookie(name, value, days)
{
if (days)
{
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="date.toGMTString();
}
else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="value+expires+;path=/";
}
</script>
Then in my tag I have:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
setcookie("testcookie", "test", 1);
</script>
</body>
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I have cookies enabled, using FF and I can see cookies being created in real time by sites like Youtube but this one won't set at all.

The script contains several mistakes. Here's the corrected version (tested):
function setcookie(name, value, days)
{
if (days)
{
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+days*24*60*60*1000); // ) removed
var expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString(); // + added
}
else
var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"=" + value+expires + ";path=/"; // + and " added
}
You are missing a + sign and a quote mark on this line:
document.cookie = name+"="value+expires+;path=/";
should be:
document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + ";path=/";
I'd suggest you look in your browser's error console or your javascript debugger's console to see javascript errors.
