that's the problem with assumptions :)
Actually I believe the W3C spec says the path will default to directory the pages resides in. So that page /hello/greeting.jsp will have "/hello" as the path. Only files under "/hello" can read the cookie. Atleast that's my understanding of how cookie path is supposed to be set. Some one correct me if I am wrong. peter John Baker wrote: > > On Monday 01 July 2002 12:59, peter lin wrote: > > if you want the cookies to be readable by all pages, you should set it > > to "/".
