: Is it common for a cookie not to be recognized in
: Netscape if it's been set initially using IE? I'm doing
: some testing on an App I just finished, I originally used
: IE to test it and the cookie I am setting worked fine, I then
: wanted to make sure everything was working in Netscape
: and it didn't seem to recognize the cookie, once I filled out
: the form and the cookie was set using Netscape it works
: fine. Just curious as to whether this is normal or not.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when you consider that a cookie is a file that's relative to the browser
that set it, then yes, this is normal behavior. cookies set when ie is used
are not accessible by netscape and vice versa. they don't even store them
in the same places. ie stores them in your temporary internet files folder
under c:/windows/. netscape stores them in a single text file called
cookies.txt located somewhere within the folders created during the netscape
install.
good luck,
