Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2004 11:18 am
i have an issue with cookies not working properly in m$ie. no clue what or why.
i had a post here on it that got deleted. here's some links to show what i'm talking about:
http://www.findyourdesire.com/forums.php?fid=2&tid=12
this is from a diff forum and SHOULD work still. i get timeout issues with the site now.

the php code that i use to set cookies:from sql
#w/out issue: 20
# definitely browser dependant: 2
total reporting: 26 of 47
i know that one of the two that's definitley the browser was using aol's browser. switching to mozilla fixed it. also fixed some minor display issues for her.any help in figuring out how to get ti working for M$IE and aol's browser would be greatly appreciated
