1. You have to take the quotes off the time stuff, so it turns into a
number, not a meaningless string.
2. IE is broken because MS engineers can't read the Netscape cookie spec to
save their lives, so if you specifiy a time, you must specify a path , '/'
as well. (*SOME* versions of IE work, some don't).
Right now, your time argument is simply turning into 0, because you are
using a string where it should be a number, and 0 means "session cookie"
which means it dies with the browser quitting.
The cookie *SHOULD* be there from another window of the same browser
version -- I dunno how you messed that up.
