Hey Paul, Not sure of exact sizes involved....all I can say is that Opera won't set some of the cookies that need to be set....and that IE/Netscape/and many others don't have a problem. So I'm not sure if Opera is adhering to the rules or if the others are breaking them ;-) Each cookie holds a WDDX packet that contains either an empty recordset or a recordset with 1 record. It's all basic registration type info (contact info, promo code details, and some other fluff)....so not huge data...but yes...enough to overload a single cookie (that's why it's broken into 4). So I'm nowhere near the max number of cookies. Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
