Can javascript delete a cookie set by http header?

Question

I try to delete cookie set by http header but doesn't work. What's the different between http-set cookie and javascript-set cookie ?

The answer is in here: [How to Delete Session Cookie?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1085756/how-to-delete-session-cookie). If a cookie is set with `HttpOnly`, you cannot access it from JS. — CodeCaster, Mar 14 '13 at 11:24

Yes, javascript can delete a cookie set by HTTP headers unless it is specifically a HTTPOnly cookie.

The cookie must also be from the same domain as the javascript.
