yes, if the browser has the cookie, it will send it but the browser doesn't 
always have the cookie even it appears to be accepting cookie. there are 
cookie blocking software that makes your cgi script believe that the user 
is accepting cookie when it's actually not. i am trying to remind you that 
you should always check for the existance of your cookie in both page 1 and 
page 2. don't rely on if page 1 sets the cookie then when you access page 
2, the cookie will be send along. it might not be the case.

to find a sample of those cookie blocking software. go to google and do a 
search on "cookie blocking"
