It's been updated to now use four digit years, but early versions of Netscape (and maybe others) will only properly parse cookies with two digit year values. http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html (Look at the bottom and see that the "Example" has a date of 09-Nov-99, not 09-Nov-1999, that's a legacy example.) So, turning this value on has nothing to do with the actual date and everything to do with the adoption of more modern user-agents. -adam -- / adam maccabee trachtenberg | visit college life online \ \ adam@student.net | http://www.student.com /
