With so many web surfers using cookie washers, you may need to put a warning where they will notice it stating that they need to disable the program temporarily.

If | either is false, | they are rerouted to a generic error page with a key (i.e., | abend.asp?key=login) and this is parsed to provide them with a | specialized | error message. | | Two questions: | | First, my understanding is that when using Response.Cookies | without setting | a date that the cookies all expire when the browser closes. Is | this always | true? | | Second, is there a better way to do the aforementioned | (considering that the | client doesn't want to pay for any third party software | licenses for any of | the aforementioned functionality)? | | Thanks! | | -- | Dwacon | www.dwacon.com ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
