It just delete the first Cookie, and not the others cookies.

The selectedIndex property of a <select> element only returns the index of the first selected option. To check all of them in a multiple select, you will need to iterate the options collection:

var os = document.getElementById("allCookies").options;
for (var i=0; i<os.length; i++) {
    if (os[i].selected) {
        var strUser = os[i].value;
        …
    }
}

And how could i do to update a cookie???

Just overwrite the cookie, i.e. use the same method as when creating them.
