Re: Cookie woes ...

Yes, that's probably your problem. You should specifically mention the domain and the path. On many browsers your cookie will not work across several pages unless you do this. Especially the AOL browser. Also, not sure if it's been fixed in IE or not but at least in 4.0 if you set the cookie and then redirect to another location immediately the cookie does not get set.
