Difference in the domain while setting cookie using javascript document.cookie=“domain=” v/s...
When setting cookie in javascript using document.cookie="dom_x=yyy;domain=www.mozilla.org;path=/", the cookie gets set in the domain www.mozilla.org.
At the same time while using document.cookie="dom_x_dot=yyy;domain:www.mozilla.org;path=/" the cookies get set in the domain .www.mozilla.org.
Is the syntax document.cookie="dom_x_dot=yyy;domain:www.mozilla.org;path=/" valid and if so when does it need to be used?

I think the difference is browser specific.

I had tried this in Google Chrome and Firefox in Mac. The results were consistent in both the browsers.

When you set a cookie domain that starts with a dot, like '.www.mozilla.org', it will be sent to that domain but also all subdomains of that domain like 'sub.www.mozilla.org'. Without the dot it will only be send to the exact domain 'www.mozilla.org'.
