This has to be done by javascript due to specific client request.

I need to create a cookie for a webpage that remembers a user.
It should expire after 45 days.

Please help me out here.
I'm not sure if I'm on the right track here and I don't know how to test to see if this will work:

<script>
function createCookie(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=/";
}

function readCookie(name) {
    var nameEQ = name + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
    }
    return null;
}    

function eraseCookie(name) {
    createCookie(name,"",-1);
}

createCookie('ppkcookie','testcookie',42)
</script>
