it used to be more common to have warnings on websites that say cookies are required. nowadays, these warnings are not there anymore and it's assumed cookies will be available. and if cookies are disabled by the user, and the website requires it, the user will be promptly halted.
i'm coming from a web developer perspective, so i guess what i'm getting at is that it seems to me something is wrong when a website has to cater to non-cookie-enabled browsers/users. this argument can also be extended to other things like browser make/version, javascript (on/off), etc. etc. is it really harsh to say no cookies = no website nowadays? in my humble opinion, this is no. --- Robert Harper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It may also be asked if it is bad practice to require the user to > enable > pop-ups.
