If the user's computer clock is way out of whack, and you are setting a cookie to expire in 1 hour, you're likely to have problems... Though *maybe* browsers account for this by comparing your Date: header and your clock time, and ignore the user clock. For sure, though, *some* versions of IE will *NOT* work when you set a Cookie time, but not a path. That's because the Microsoft engineers mis-read the Cookie spec (on purpose perhaps) and require *both* time and path, or neither, but not just path. YMMV -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
