RE: [WEB400] JavaScript Problems

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,

Did you look at the cookie reader sample I posted?  It is a different
approach and may provide the answer...

Friendly reminder: the requesting domain MUST be the same as the domain that
wrote the cookie.  This can be an annoying fact of dealing with cookies, but
if your website wrote the cookie and you are trying to test a page off your
local hard drive or something you will never be able tor ead the cookie...
