cookies and IE4

Anon

I haveset up cookie, that works fine in Netscape, but it does not work with IE.

I have serched the site for hours this morning to find out what is the difference and how to make it work with IE4 sp2 and above.

Can anyone help, please?

Hi
Can you please give me the line that you use for setting the cookie. This may be an issue with how you set the expiration. If you are not setting the expiration and the cookie is just failing a simple
setCookie("name", "value");
command, then the issue may be with your browser accepting cookies. First see if the browser is set to accept cookies(go into Tools->Internet Options->Advanced), if it is, try your script on other someone elses computer having IE. If it works on theirs and not on yours you might have to redo your IE installation.

Good luck

Thanks, after some meddling with it, I found out that my timing is the problem and when I've changed cookie time to 5 minutes it worked. It seems that IE can not handle cookies with time set to 2 and under 2 minutes. Interesting, I am not sure now if this is the featire of IE or our "standard build"?

Well that was easy, that was my first thought Yes there is an issue with IE taking cookies with different expirations. I think its an issue than a feature. anyway, good luck !
