We've got a public Web site built on MX 6.1. We have a lot of problems with users who don't have cookies enabled in their browsers. This causes problems, especially, when users are attempting to log in.
I know I can check if cookies are enabled by creating a cookie variable on one template and then checking for the existence of that variable on another template. So, on our development site, I've added some code which creates a cookie variable on every page of the site. Then, I've added some code to the template which our login page submits to. That template checks for the existence of the cookie, and if it doesn't find it, it redirects (using the cflocation tag) to a page which displays a message about cookies not being enabled and provides instructions on how to enable them in different browsers. This works. The problem is that if the user clicks the "Back" button on the "Cookies Not Enabled" page after enabling cookies, they go back to the login page, but the cached version of the login page (accessed by the "Back" button) does not create the cookie variable. So, when the user tries to log in again, they still get the "Cookies Not Enabled" page, even though cookies are now enabled. If the user then clicks the "Back" button again and logs in again, the "Cookies Not Enabled" page will not display and the log in will work properly because by this time, the cookie variable has been created, but I don't want to force our users to try logging in three times before it works. I'm wondering if there is a better way to check if cookies are enabled in a user's browser which avoids this problem with the "Back" button. Keep in mind that we have a lot of different entry points to our site.
