[Apaxe2000]

Hi.

I create this function to verify if cookies are enables in the
browser.

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.cookie = "TemporaryTestCookie=yes;";
if(document.cookie.indexOf("TemporaryTestCookie=") == -1) {
alert("Atention: You have to set cookies on.");
}
</script>

This function works well in Firefox, but dont work im Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.

Why? I dont undestand why!

I am not totally sure why it doesn't work in IE (no time for extensive
checks, sorry), my guess is that it has to do with the path.

Anyway, check this page. I published my cookie object recently, and it
offers methods doing exactly what you want. Check the code and feel free
to use it.

There is the standard functionality that works both IE (5.0 and more)
and Firefox
if (window.navigator.cookieEnabled)
{
//....
}
