Hi all,

Anyone see anything wrong with the following:
***************************************************************
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<%
Option Explicit

Dim nAcctNbr
Dim nMsgStart
Dim nMsgEnd

If Not(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr")="") Then
nAcctNbr = CInt(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr"))
End If
If Not(Request.Cookies("MsgStart")="") Then
nMsgStart = CInt(Request.Cookies("MsgStart"))
End If
If Not(Request.Cookies("MsgEnd")="") Then
nMsgEnd = CInt(Request.Cookies("MsgEnd"))
End If

If Not (Session("USE_XML") = "True") Then
%>
<HTML>
<head>
<meta name="VI60_DTCScriptingPlatform" content="Server (ASP)">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

Else 'if using XML
nAcctNbr = 0
nMsgStart = 0
nMsgEnd = 9
Response.Cookies("AcctNbr") = nAcctNbr
Response.Cookies("MsgStart")= nMsgStart
Response.Cookies("MsgEnd") = nMsgEnd
Response.Cookies("AcctNbr").Expires = DateAdd("d", 2, Now)
Response.Cookies("MsgStart").Expires= DateAdd("d", 2, Now)
Response.Cookies("MsgEnd").Expires = DateAdd("d", 2, Now)
%>
<HTML>

</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<%
End if 'USE_XML
%>
***************************************************************

This has been tested on IE60 and Pocket IE. The cookies are NOT
writing to either browser.. :-(

Thanks for any insight in advance..

Your refering to the USE_XML condition?

Yes this gets executed correctly .. I get the 'alert("Finished.")'
message in the <script> below the code for setting the cookies.

Hi Brian,

The code that sets the cookies is in an IF statement. Perhaps that section
of the IF statement is not being executed. Please move your Response.write
"Finished" statement to the ELSE section of the IF statement to verify that
the ELSE section is being executed.

Also, as an additional test, you have a segment of code as follows:
If Not(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr")="") Then
nAcctNbr = CInt(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr"))
End If

Change this to:
If Not(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr")="") Then
nAcctNbr = CInt(Request.Cookies("AcctNbr"))
Response.write Request.Cookies("AcctNbr")
End If

Thank you, Mike

Well I have tried both these already for verification. Just is not
included in the code posted here for simplicity sake. Yes it is
verified that the proper section executes. Actually I can even step
through in a VID debugger...

This ASP is in a file that gets Server.Execute'd in a loop. If the
Server.Execute in the calling ASP is within an HTML tag, will that
have an effect?

Hi Brian,

Sorry for the delay. It does not matter if the server-side code is inside
an HTML tag. The server-side code can be anywhere in the page.

I'd like to return to basics for this. Please start a new blank page and
add this code. Then browse it and then refresh the page with IE and Pocket
IE. Then post the results.
<%
Response.Write Request.Cookies("abc")
Response.Cookies("abc") = "123"
Response.CacheControl="no-cache"
%>
