Fine, as long as it doesn't break the ability for old browsers to read cookies. It's way uncool to break features that the developer has no control over. I have no problems telling someone to upgrade their server to the latest version of Apache, but telling someone that they need to make their users upgrade to newer browsers isn't fair. Whomever makes this change need to test the patch with a version of Netscape 2.0 to see if cookies still work, if it doesn't -- then this shouldn't be enabled by default. -adam -- / adam maccabee trachtenberg | visit college life online \ \ adam@student.net | http://www.student.com /
