Back in the day, when I was doing support for Everyware, this was a very common problem - especially with the newbies. As Witango is being not being used by as many newbies, it would explain why we don't see this issue as often anymore. But we all have lapses (and it gets worse as we get older); an

I was cognitively impaired in two ways. I didn't know the push interfered with cookie setting and I'd completely forgotten that I'd put a push on some actions when I was debugging. So I didn't see it and didn't know it was important. I'd spent too much time trying to come up with the conditions

Cookies are all about the HTTP header, and any TAF files which touch the HTTP hearder, including setting cookies, cannot use any actions which are marked "push."

I know that any cookies won't get set when you have any actions "push"ed before the assignement. This is because the cookie is set in the HTTP header which is sent when the first bit of HTML is sent by Witango to the browser. You can set the cookie(s) using JavaScript at anytime you're also sending

I could do that, but I put the assignment within conditional logic because I don't want to set it every time. On Nov 15, 2009, at 2:06 PM, Michael Heth wrote: > > On Nov 15, 2009, at 2:01 PM, Roland Dumas wrote: > >> just found one more clue: If an assignment is made within IF/ELSEIF/THEN >

I'm going batty. A simple enough thing: setting a cookie. Whether I do it with an assign action or an <@assign> tag, the following occurs a taf with JUST the assignment works. The cookie is set. I can set it, re-set it, change the expiry. It behaves as expected in a single step taf. Put that a
